The Bedrooms
Although we have ample room for many more, we restrict occupancy to 8 guests to ensure there's plenty of space for everyone and, importantly, to limit wear and tear on this historic protected building. There are 4 principal bedrooms (sleeping up to 8 guests) on the first floor, 3 have ensuite bathrooms and the other has a separate shower room and an additional separate wc/bathroom, each about 30 yards away. There are a further 2 bedrooms on the garden floor (sleeping up to 3 guests), which share an ensuite shower room.
All the rooms feature top of the range white Egyptian Cotton bed linen and large fluffy towels. Most have working shutters as well as blinds and curtains.
All the first floor rooms are off a large Landing with excellent natural light due to a large glazed roof lantern.
The Master Suite has the best view in the house with a large bay having 3 windows over the lake. Above the curtains is an impressive gilt pelmet to match the ornate headboard and the gilt framed paintings. The bed is 6’ (Super King size). A door leads to the en suite bathroom with a Carrara marble topped vanity having 2 basins, a vintage cast iron double ended bath with marble surround, a screened WC and a high pressure shower cubicle.
The Red Bedroom is the second Master suite and contains some of the furniture and items brought back by the current and 2 previous generations of the family who have had business or military links in the Far East. The room has windows facing the lake and the rear terraced lawn. The bed is 6’ (Super King size).
The Bathroom adjacent to the Red Bedroom can either be for its exclusive use or be shared with the Blue Bedroom at the end of the corridor. This bathroom contains a large vintage cast iron bath and basin with Carrara marble surrounds and a large high pressure shower cubicle and has a calm view over the rear terraced lawn.
The Blue Bedroom has windows facing the lake and the entrance front lawn. This room has a cream painted 5’9” four poster bed and is also known as "The Princess' Room" after Princess Frederica of Hanover, a regular guest in the 1880's whose favourite room this was. The Blue Bedroom can either share the Bathroom next to the Red Bedroom or has a dedicated shower room next to Morgan’s room as well as a bathroom with WC at the back of the house.
Morgan’s Bedroom has 2 windows overlooking the entrance front lawn and the woodland at the back of the house. There are 2 single beds (each 3') in this room. A door leads to an ensuite bathroom with steel bath, WC and pedestal basin.
Adjoining Morgan’s Bedroom is a separate shower room with a large stall for the use of the Blue Bedroom.
There is a further bathroom/WC at the back of the house.
There are 2 further bedrooms on the Garden Floor. They were refurbished last year: The Garden Bedroom with a modern 5'3" (King size) four poster bed and Hannah's Room with a 4' (Large Single) Sleigh bed. Both rooms have a door to a shared shower room/WC. These 2 rooms can be used together as a private suite.
Although you will note that the above adds up to 11 bedspaces, we only accept a maximum of 8 guests; the extra bedspaces ensure we can provide for up to 6 of the group requiring separate beds/rooms.
Next to these bedrooms is a Utility Room with 2 washing machines, 2 dryers, a gas hob and a combination microwave oven.
