The house is not just an ordinary self catering holiday cottage or a barn conversion – it is a large Victorian house built with style and opulence.
The house has a modern central heating system, and a new boiler mighty enough to power a medium-size aircraft carrier, so you can make the house as warm as you like it.
In August 2017 we installed an £10,000 hot tub – HotSpring Relay on a deck outside. The hot tub can be used all year round, and has variable massage jets, waterfall, led lights, and is a real treat.
