Tiki Bathroom - Perfectly placed between the two bedrooms is the tiki bathroom, complete with another (yet slightly smaller) roll top bath & shower.

Outdoor Area:
The outdoor area to the property really is the ‘piece de resistance’ through the French doors and tucked in a corner is ‘Ye Olde Coop’, this used to be the old chicken coop but has been turned into an outdoor bar. The bar has many stools, benches and a heater for those cold nights. The pumps are just for show however there is a fridge complete with craft beers & an honesty box.

Heading along the garden past the vast amount of flowers & apple trees we have installed a hot tub on a paved area for you to enjoy, surrounding the hot tub are sage green picnic tables and a large outdoor teak dining table.

Feel free to dabble in the greenhouse, pick the walnuts from the trees (if you can beat the squirrels!) and even collect your own eggs daily from our resident chickens. We also have pigs that live on site (enclosed) you are free to go and visit them as much as you like!

Dogs are more than welcome and are completely safe in our 100% dog friendly garden. A barbecue is also available for use during your stay.

The property is located within Great Wilne which is one of the UKs smallest hamlets, surrounded by fields and rivers you are never too far from adventure.
