Our magnificent Grade II Listed Georgian country house is perfect for an unforgettable holiday in an elegant setting. Our five charming and generous bedrooms have many original historic features, which have been furnished with family furniture to provide that delightful, homely feel that many guests appreciate. They have all been superbly equipped with plenty of mod cons. Our five bedrooms are:
The Elizabethan Room - This is our oldest bedroom, with a four-poster bed set into the original beams and the original 1587 fireplace. An oak door leads to a large private dressing/bathroom with a claw-foot iron bath.
The Panel Room - This is a spacious panelled room with intriguing carvings, a six-foot 4 poster bed and splendid views across the Somerset Levels. The roll-top bath on a raised wooden plinth within the room helps to make it a romantic setting Text taken from bandbstays.co.uk for honeymooners and guests seeking a romantic escape.
The South Room - If you prefer a bright and airy room with great views across the Somerset Levels then the South Room might be your choice. The room has a Queen size Sleigh bed and as there are three steps down to the shower area this room may not be suitable for guests with walking disabilities.
