Guests will look out to the ruins of the 13thcentury Old Castle or into the Walled Garden, where chickens peck amongst the vegetable beds, and guests can join classes in everything from cooking to sign-writing. 

The West End has five large, fully-restored bedrooms, with walls boldly-coloured and featuring original art and furniture curated from the restored Georgian chairs to the new custom-made dining table, decorated with family silver that dates back over 300 years.
