Meals
Our resident chef, Terry, will serve you a delicious breakfast to keep you going all day. Dinner is available on request and you will be invited to join the family in their spacious and elegant home for pre dinner drinks around the fire in winter. We can offer airport transfers and are in close proximity of most restaurants. Start the day with a delicious, home-cooked English breakfast, or if you prefer, cereals, yoghurt and fruit. Enjoy fruit juice, tea and coffee with your breakfast. By arrangement, enjoy pre-dinner drinks around the fire in winter or on the patio in summer before Terry serves you a delicious home-cooked dinner.
