Ample parking and secure storage for bicycles etc. It is set in a beautifully landscaped garden of about an acre and there is a BBQ and garden furniture to use. In the paddock beyond the garden is a pool inhabited by domestic geese, some moorhens and mallards and other visiting ducks and regular visits from the heron and occassionally, a kingfisher. We get lots of different birds in the gardens including various types of owls and bats.
There is a path around the pool which can also be used as a jogging track, or for interval training if you are really keen. If you need some guidance I can arrange for some personal training for you. Of course, if you just want to stroll round that's perfectly fine! Take a cup of tea or bottle of wine and sit on one of the numerous benches that are dotted around both the garden and the pool. We have a strict No Smoking policy in the Hop Barn. Bed linen is included, all 100% cotton with good thread count, towels are available too. The property must be left in a clean and tidy condition.
