Accommodation
Let Catherine and Matthew personally welcome you to their bespoke self-catering conversion. Every room in ‘The Dairy’ was once part of the original old farm.
The Dairy
The generously sized kitchen/dining room is fully equipped with modern appliances and is the perfect place in which to prepare and enjoy evening meals with friends or family. The contemporary lounge area, just right for unwinding at the end of a fun packed day is equipped with a large TV. Together, the kitchen and lounge area were the original old dairy where the fresh milk would be chilled and stored until being made into butter and cheese.
Downstairs
There are two large double bedrooms on the ground floor and both are furnished to an exceptionally high standard. The ground floor rooms are ideal for those with limited mobility, with laminate flooring throughout and clear space around furniture.
The main bedroom, once the original farmhouse kitchen, is large enough to unwind in privacy at the end of a day. The spacious second bedroom was previously the ‘dairy maids’ quarters. These young women would be responsible for all the milking and cheese making done on the farm.
There is a well equipped full-sized bathroom with a walk-in shower enclosure on the ground floor.
Upstairs
Upstairs, the two smaller bedrooms – one twin bedded and one single – were once part of the cheese loft where the freshly made farm cheeses were stored until they had matured and were ready to sell. The quirky coombed (or sloped) ceilings meant they would have literally been packed to the rafters with the hand-made cheeses. These rooms share a modern shower room with toilet and wash-hand basin.
All bedrooms have a wall mounted TV, and there is a large TV in the living area. Internet is available throughout the property via wi-fi. For those cooler evenings there is central heating throughout. We have included a secure storage unit outside for bicycles, golf clubs, fishing tackle, surfboards, etc.
