The owner lives in the farmhouse next door & has a small holding with 2 donkeys, sheep, 3 emus, turkeys, peacocks, guinea fowl & plenty of chickens - you are welcome to have their fresh eggs for your breakfast!

Dine together around the spacious table before settling in for a night in front of the TV or admiring the spectacular sunset across Bethecar Moor and countryside from the Juliet balcony. When the evening draws to a close head back downstairs to catch up on your rest in either the king-size or twin bedroom; both boast handy en-suite shower rooms so you can freshen up ahead of your next adventure.
