Facilities for Bed & Breakfast guests
A large drawing room is provided for our guests, with log fire, television, comfortable chairs and dining table. On the south side a door opens onto the main terrace and lawns of the garden. A west-facing bay window looks out into the ‘wild’ garden that is constantly moving with a host of different birds including nuthatches, green and greater spotted woodpeckers and long-tailed tits. Wireless broadband connection is now available.

the drawing room

Breakfast is served in the drawing room and we look forward to spoiling you with eggs from our own chickens, bacon and sausages, home baked bread, marmalade and preserves, and plentiful coffee or tea.

heated outdoor pool

For those wanting some exercise, the heated swimming pool is available to our guests from June to September whilst the woods bordering our land offer endless walking or riding opportunities (we can also stable your horse if required). The local Checkendon Equestrian Centre offers hacks through the Chiltern beechwoods and this has proved to be very popular with our guests.

Through the winter months, we host Scottish Country dancing in the galleried hall on occasional Friday evenings. Anyone staying on these nights is invited to join in. We have a wonderful instructor, so do not worry if you have not danced before, as he will soon show you what to do.
