including ornate carved antique French beds, four poster beds and a half-tester,
and period furniture as well as pine. Beautiful soft furnishing create help

basin and WC. Two of the bedrooms, including a four-poster room with direct
access to the garden, are situated on the ground floor, making them an ideal
