Offering a combination of modern practicality and comfort, while retaining many original features, most of our properties have wood-burning hot tubs and all have cosy wood-burning stoves. Our dog friendly gardens are fully enclosed providing fabulous views and walks directly from your door. The gardens, woods, mountains and moorland are home to deer, pine marten, red squirrels and a huge variety of bird life, all of which can be enjoyed while just sitting in the hot tub, around the fire pit – or just straight out the scenic windows.
