Tastefully decorated with carefully thought out amenities, they perfectly combine modern convenience with traditional features. Each property is completely individual in both layout and style. But they are all well-equipped. With modern kitchens, lovely lounges and bedrooms for all your guests. With the larger properties having additional amenities, such as washing machines and dishwashers. They really are perfect for families. Even the smaller properties, Kersey Cottage and Melford Cottage have spacious bedrooms with space for a cot. Although you may well be tempted to sneak away for a romantic break for two!
