Lovely place place to visit. Super comfortable. Friendly , genuine hosts.
We had an excellent time and will be back. Went in winter which was chilly, so while there are plenty of heaters and a lovely log fire, make sure to dress warm :)

It was lovely and clean and very much 117 years old! The things that we loved were the fireplaces which was very much needed and warm robes. The hard beds and mice in the roof made it a bit difficult to sleep. It was probably a bit more old school then we were expecting for the price. It was very cool seeing the horses.
