Great sized venue for 8 adults staying a few days. Sure the is scope for some modernization, but the lived in patina adds some charm to the characterful accommodationFor self catering, the accommodation actually has suitably large pans and a good sized range cooker making it fit for purpose as a properly self reliant environment for group catering.
