There are 2 sweet bedrooms looking out onto the orchard, with walk-in wardrobes, crisp white duvets and shower rooms with classy soap and luxury towels.

A tray with kettle, tea, coffee, chocolate and biscuits is in each room, with radio and hair dryer.

One room has a double bed and low windows, the second room has twin beds and is on the ground floor avoiding all steps. They share a sitting room with television, lots of books and maps, and a separate front door.


There are Aga cooked breakfasts in the traditional kitchen and if you choose to have dinner, meat is locally sourced by Wally Dutton, organic eggs, bacon and honey come from Michael Jessop, vegetables from our own garden and Mrs. Appleton or John Bourne's Cheshire cheese comes from the Gunnery in Tarvin.

At breakfast, choose from porridge cooked overnight in the Aga and served with cream and brown sugar, bacon and scrambled eggs, or smoked haddock and poached egg.

And of course that special toast with a criss-cross pattern that only the Aga can do.

Raspberry jam is particularly good as are the home made marmalades and quince jelly.
