The three colour-themed rooms in this rambling 400-year-old house, vary in size, but they’re comfy, charming and delightfully unfussy, with Egyptian cotton bedding, homemade biscuits and cafetieres. Downstairs, there's a highly recommended restaurant. Rates include a buffet continental breakfast, and it’s all great value.
