The house dates back to the 16th century and has since been extended to provide spacious bedrooms and communal areas. The building is set in secluded grounds with a swimming pool, sun terrace, children's play equipment and orchard. Inside is a large dining room, living room, games room and gym. We have five en-suite bedrooms and can accommodate families, individuals or groups.

"This place is better than a five-star hotel", T.B., Cambridge.

Grounds - the fenced garden has a swimming pool, play equipment for young children, a large lawn for ball games, plenty of trees to climb or hide behind and you may just see one of our cats, dogs or chickens (feel free to collect a fresh egg for breakfast!).  We grow a lot of our own fruit and veg, so  pick a pear or sample the walnuts, kiwis, figs or peaches.  Our separate field also has plenty of space for mountain-biking practise and a picnic table by the river. The sun terrace is brilliant for sun-worshippers as you can catch the rays all day long. A covered terrace has tables and chairs for breakfast or dinner outside. Barbecues are also available for your use.

 

The 11x5m swimming pool is great for playing and swimming lengths

Our six chickens lay fresh eggs every day

The sun-terrace has gorgeous views across the countryside

"This is a gorgeous place. I loved the swimming pool & the space to roam around.", S.N., Cambridge.

 

Inside - breakfast is served in the dining room (or outside if you prefer). Our continental breakfast consists of croissants, bread, cereals, fruit and yoghurts. Cyclists may prefer energy-boosting options of omelettes and porridge, while a full English breakfast, or German option of cold meats and cheeses is available on request. We definitely recommend trying our fresh hens' eggs - poached, scrambled, boiled or fried. Evening meals and packed lunches are available each day. Our large living room has a real fire for cold winter nights after skiing, plus UK television and a dvd player if you fancy a quiet evening in. Make yourself at home in the house, borrow a book or a pack of cards or browse through our list of recommendations for evenings or days out. The games room has a pool table, Playstation 2 and games, dart boards, various board games and puzzles, plus a large library of books, videos and dvds for you to use. The gym is available anytime and has a range of equipment including weights, a rowing machine, steppers, an exercise bike, punch bag and a treadmill.
