J'écris depuis mon lit pliable en dégustant les biscuits et le thé qu'on m'a fourni, et j'ai pris un bain très relaxant dans le coin de mon immense chambre :-) Ce bed and breakfast romantique est riche en caractère et sort de l'ordinaire avec ses bricoles intéressantes et ses meubles d'époque. Si j'avais été accompagnée d'un homme charmant, j'y aurais peut-être passé tout un weekend, mais malheureusement ce n'était qu'un arrêt pour une nuit pendant une semaine occupée. On se croirait au paradis. Mon hôte s'appelle Judith et elle est exubérante, animée et passionnée par cet endroit. Le petit déjeuner est servi dans la cuisine au sous-sol et donne sur l'Aga, il n'y a pas beaucoup de chambres mais elles ont chacune leur propre caractère, et le patio a de belles vues et serait un endroit agréable pour se détendre un soir l'été, mais c'est moins invitant en décembre. Ce n'est pas cher, c'est bien situé et la maison est fascinante. J'y reviendrai si possible !

I am currently lying in my pocket sprung bed, enjoying the biscuits and tea made available to me, and I have had a lovely bath in the corner of my massive room :-) Full of quirky and interesting niknaks, furniture and period fixtures, this a full on romantic bed and breakfast. Had I been in the company of a desireable man, I may have stayed for the whole weekend, but this is sadly a short stopover in a busy week. It is heaven though. My host is Judith who owns this Georgian pile, and who is exuberant, effervecent and passionate about the place. Breakfast is served in the basement kitchen and cooked on the Aga, the rooms are few but utterly individual, and in the summer the patio with a view would be a relaxing place of an evening. Not so inviting in December. Not expensive, great location and a fascinating home. I will be back if possible!
speshalkay I went back this year to stay with Judith again, and fell in love with the place all over again. I took a “desirable man” this time, and we had a lovely few days. We went to the nearby beaches under Judiths instruction, and explored the Lily Ponds. They are a local feature apparently created when a monk dammed the river, and created a series of freshwater pools inhabited by said lillies, fish, dragonflies and other creatures. There are several walks in various directions, and the sunny day we picked was perfect.
Yet again it was fabulous. It’s got to be one of my top 5 places!8 September 2011
