Double
Room
The first guest bedroom is west facing and enjoys a good
view over neighbouring farmland.
It offers a comfortable double bed (UK size), clothes hanging
space, mini hi-fi, hairdrier, tea & coffee making facilities,
ample drawer and cupboard space and has an electric radiator
for the winter. An electric pedestal fan can be provided
for the summer if required. There is also a small TV with
DVD player and satellite feed (UK channels). We have a selection
of DVDs and, of course, you can play any of your own that
you may have brought with you. |

Twin Room
The second guest bedroom is slightly smaller. It offers
twin beds, and has an original (but non functional) fireplace
in the corner. The room has a modern electric radiator,
a stereo unit, drawer and cupboard space and a hanging rail.
Facing east, it gets the best of the morning sunshine but
is, in summer, cooler in the evenings. |
 |
Guest Bathroom
With toilet, shower, wash-basin and radiator/towel rail,
this small bathroom enjoys a westerly aspect and is not
overlooked.
A roller blind is fitted and can give additional assurance
of privacy if required.
It is also a superb point from which to observe the behaviour
of the small birds, as the tree housing their feeder and
a number of fat balls is less than five feet away. |
|
The Séjour
The front door leads directly into the séjour,
which is configured as an open plan lounge/diner.
The part nearest the kitchen is the dining area with one sofa against the west wall. UK BBC Radio 2 is usually on in this area, fed by satellite.
The half nearest the fire is configured as a comfortable seating area with two sofas and the television wall-mounted adjacent to the front-facing (south) window. |
 |
The outside
room
Double doors at the other end of the séjour lead out
to a decking area with a southerly and westerly aspect. This
area enjoys sunshine from about 11am until sunset and is a
great spot for a barbecue. |
 |
Under the
Roof
The attic conversion houses our private studies and contains
a 21" colour television with Playstation II and a range
of games, and a number of board games and jigsaw puzzles. Additionally,
there is a folding bed and a camp bed should they be needed.
There is just one smallish south-facing window in the room
(which makes it a bit dark), but the views from it are superb!
A west-facing Velux window is high on the wish list.
This is also the only room in the house where mobile 'phones always work (the roof is not 75cm stone!). |
 |
The annexe
The old bread oven room is looking for a job. During the past four years it has served variously as a workshop, a dining room and a lounge.
|
 |
The
Workshop
Now kitted out for (entry level) woodworking with table
saw, band saw and lathe, plus a range of hand tools. This
facility is not generally available for
unsupervised guests' use. |
