BED & BREAKFAST
Apart from weddings, Alison and
Brian have decided to retire from B&B.
Those who have already booked will of course still be able to come, but
we are not taking new bookings.
After years of people saying " I don't know how you do it
all", we have decided we agree with them. We are planning to
make our lives a little easier. We shall continue to open the mill
and garden as before.
Next year in 2011 just the bridal suite will be available for the
bride and groom for the night before their wedding, and their wedding
night, if they wish to use it.
This year in 2010 the bridal suite, the other double room and the
single room can be available if the bride and groom request them. Guests in the other two rooms must book in for two nights
- the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding, as Alison
and Brian are usually out on wedding days and can't be there for wedding
guests arriving for B&B. We take the
grandchildren out for the day, so Greg and Elaine are free for the
wedding. In 2010 the single room is £45 a night, and the double
room is £90 a night.

THE CHOCOLATE ROOM - the Bridal Suite
|
The Chocolate Room has
a romantic cream lacy four poster double bed, made up with
chocolate satin sheets, deliciously silky to feel. A snow
leopard throw at the end of the bed adds to the tactile
experience. (Note: no Asian cat was harmed in the making
of this bed.) It has an antique brass and iron bedhead that has
been in the family for generations, as has the chest of drawers
and wardrobe. There is plenty of room for the armchair and
old rocking chair as it is very spacious - over 18 ft by 14 ft
(5.5 x 4.3m) with the ensuite shower room in the corner. |
The view from the
window is of the watermill, and the wall round the millpool,
with the big old willow growing on an island in the millpool.
If you leave the double-glazed window open, you can wake to the
sound of the waterfall in the millpool. This picture was
taken in July. |
