This has created deceptively spacious and well presented accommodation and allowed the opportunity to create an established and successful Bed and Breakfast.

Off a wide reception hall which is split level are steps down to a rear dining room also with fireplace and good size kitchen with matching units, seven burner range cooker and stainless steel canopy above.
