We hope that you will have a relaxing and comfortable stay. Our two large guest rooms are both triple aspect with plenty of natural light and views across the south-facing garden and fields beyond.

The comfortable beds are made up with duvets and soft pillows, all with a hypoallergenic filling.

Both rooms have a comfy settee and easy chair, a small wardrobe, chest of drawers and breakfast table. Ceiling lights are dimmable and there is a bedside lamp and standard lamp for a more ambient mood.

There is a powerful shower in the bathroom within the king size room and bath with shower in the twin/super-king bathroom. You will also find soft towels, face cloths, bathrobes, slippers and environmentally-friendly toiletries, some of which are made locally.

There is a flat screen TV with Freeview and DVD player, wireless internet access, i-Pod dock, alarm clock, hair drier, makeup mirror, iron and board.

The silent mini-fridge contains mineral water, filtered tap water and fresh milk. You may wish to bring your own wine or Champagne to chill.

On the drinks tray you'll find a variety of teas, instant and filter coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and some chocolates.

We serve breakfast in your room, alternatively on the patio or in the summerhouse if you prefer to enjoy the morning sun.  We love our food at High Pines and use sausages and bacon from local butchers and eggs from our own hens cooked as you like them (local free-range are used when they are not laying or if you would prefer them). If you fancy a change from the traditional English breakfast, why not try smoked haddock with a poached egg or scrambled egg with smoked salmon?  We cater for gluten-free (celiac), vegetarian or other special dietary requirements if you let us know when you book.
