Guests can join in the romance of this story by staying in Anne Boleyns' room, our beautiful oak panelled double bedroom.
With oak beams throughout, and beautiful original floorboards, this house still owes much to its’ Tudor roots.
The house is situated on a working farm, which produces a variety of arable crops and organic chickens.
