Ascending to the upper vaulted floor reveals additional sleeping accommodations, including a spacious double bedroom and two twin single rooms, all thoughtfully designed for comfort and tranquility. The family bathroom, featuring a Victorian-style roll-top bath and charming oak flooring, adds a touch of nostalgia to the modern amenities. Each room is tastefully decorated, with views that showcase the beauty of the surrounding landscape, ensuring a restful experience for all guests.
