Four rooms also have their own private hot tubs, perfect for a long, relaxing soak after a day out in the countryside, and there are complimentary handmade Bramley bath products for extra pampering.
The team deliver fresh milk to your door, so you can brew a cuppa in the privacy of your room, giving you the chance for some downtime before heading out for the day or taking a seat in the restaurant, bar or beer garden.
