"My parents farmed here and it is where I spent my childhood. I returned, with Brian, in October 2001 and have welcomed guests for bed and breakfast and meals since, says Annie.

"The house dates back through four centuries. There are TVs, books and music available for residents in both the lounge/dining room and the library. All rooms have a tea/coffee making tray, with home made biscuits, fruit & flowers, a CD player, radio and of course full central heating. A cot can be added to any of the rooms.

"Breakfast is usually served at a time of your choosing between 8.30 & 9.30 a.m . If you would like to have breakfast earlier, or later, than this, please ask. If you would prefer a change from a traditional English breakfast or have specific dietary requirements then please let me know the night before if you haven't already told me at the time of booking.

Due to health problems I am not doing so many evening meals. If you do not feel up to the 1-6 mile drive for a nice resteraunt or pub meal, then you are wecome to bring in a take away meal and I will provide plates, glasses and cutlery for a minimum charge to cover washing up.  Mini Kitchen: Microwave available for heating children’s meals. We don't have a drinks licence but you are welcome to bring your own.

"Should you have any special dietary requirements I can usually accommodate them or adapt a menu to your preferences whether its gluten free, low salt or vegetarian - available for Moslem / Hindu guests as Halal meat cannot be sourced locally. Packed lunches can also be made up and of course I will fill up flasks as you need. Most requirements can be managed if we are given advance notice.  

For special occasions, such as anniversaries and birthdays, hand-tied bouquets can be provided with a bottle of Sparkling Wine.

"The village doesn’t have a shop any more but we have a daily paper and selection of magazines with both a local and countryside bias.

"If there is anything else we can do to enhance your enjoyment of your stay in the Lyvennet valley, just ask."

Please note: The Cottage & Farmhouse are non smoking, but smokers can enjoy the garden views while  indulging.

Please note: Since the construction of our polytunnel in 2005, we have been able serve the freshest and tastiest homegrown vegetables.
