Our B&B consists of a large family suite on the first floor which consists of 2 separate bedrooms - one large double with full en-suite bathroom, and one adjoining bedroom with 4ft bed (access to bathroom is via the main bedroom) - ideal for Couples and/or friends and family travelling together. The main room has a colour TV, shaver plug adaptor and hairdryer. We are also Baby-friendly, which includes free use of high-chair, buggy, travel cot and/or moses basket.
The accommodation retains much of its original features including inglenook fireplaces, mullion windows, spiral brick staircase, and oak beams throughout - even down to the witches marks found on the oak beam across the main fireplace! The property underwent a substantial restoration in 1987 and the builders & owners won a conservation award.
There is ample parking on site. Enjoy a complimentary drink with us on your arrival. You’ll find a choice of traditional or veggie breakfasts, eat in the old keg room in the morning and in the evening you are welcome to relax in the main lounge with inglenook fireplace or take a walk around the gardens.
We are a strictly non-smoking establishment. Guests with permission are welcome to smoke outside in the courtyard garden. No pets allowed.
Drinks are always available.
The Jolly Farmers original brick staircase although well lit, is of a spiral nature and as such this will need to be taken into consideration if guests have special needs.
If you would like to visit the area in advance of placing a booking, let us know and we can arrange for you to view the guest rooms.
