A blue plaque on the facade confirms the Duke of Monmouth stayed here during his 1685 rebellion. The property is adults-only and maintains its historic character with original features and antique furnishings.
Individually Designed Rooms
Each room is individually designed with vintage furniture and eclectic decor, offering spacious layouts and comfortable king-sized beds. Rooms include a mini fridge with fresh milk daily, bathrobes, and a safety deposit box. The Bishop Room, for example, has low beams and a large en-suite bathroom with a powerful shower.
Dining Experience
Breakfast is a full English cooked to order by the hosts, served in a farmhouse kitchen that encourages conversation among guests. Special diet menus are available on request, and the outdoor dining courtyard provides an alternative setting on sunny mornings. The breakfast is consistently rated as exceptional by previous guests.
Garden & Outdoor Spaces
The garden includes a sun terrace, outdoor furniture, and a seating area where guests can relax and meet the resident cats. A sunny deck area offers additional space for reading or afternoon tea. The property also provides bicycle parking for guests exploring the surrounding countryside.
