Home truths
While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The accommodation here is set across two separate, neighbouring houses – one with five bedrooms and the other with three. Each house has its own living area, kitchen, and outside space, as well as a pool spa.
For those with reduced mobility, both houses are all on one level, with wide doors that are suitable for wheelchairs.
Bedrooms two and three share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom which can be accessed from either bedroom.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The pool spas are not suitable for children under the age of 4.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking is available for up to nine cars, along with an electric vehicle charger.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
