The old part of the house is a 16th century timber-framed building. We love the character, with ancient beams, low ceilings, rich textures/shapes, small windows, and nothing really straight or logical. We keep warm and comfortable even on cold winter nights thanks to modern central heating, log burners, electric blankets and warm jumpers.
The new part of the house has large rooms, bright open spaces and modern facilities. The practice room has space for twelve people to do yoga with spectacular views across the Welsh and English countryside. The large kitchen/diner has space for 12, but you'll often find us eating outside enjoying the fresh air and beautiful views (we love it even if we have to wear a woolly hat!).
At present, we have three rooms for guests. We are gradually expanding our guest capacity, but we'll stay a fairly modest size to keep a welcoming family atmosphere. We plan to build an outdoor loo/shower for occasional camping.
