wow. what a find! great musty reooms that deserve to be so. elegantly carved main hall greets you as you stoop thru the 16th century portal. a roaring fire gave me a sense of both visual and physical warmth. the first room [43] was a waste of time. in an outbuilding and not worth even considering. the roar of the cars on the highway was only remediated by the earplugs i rammed in prior to sleep. the shower shoved under the sloping roof.....then i moved to the main house. the other end of the scale. you really felt that travelers have been sleeping there for a few centuries. wonderfully layed out room, nothing really fancy; it was simply great. the tithe barn is something to see. a 13th century barn added on to Henry VIII's hunting lodge. the food was fabulous. worth every calorie!
i would go back in an instant....and next time take time to enjoy the grounds and surrounding area.
