Bedroom Accommodation
All but two of our 13 bedrooms have either a basin or an en suite bathroom, so there shouldn’t be much queuing necessary even with a big party. Altogether, we have eight bathrooms, plus two separate loos downstairs - and a sauna. The bathrooms are functional rather than luxurious – with quantity rather than quality being the selling point, here. We have spent a fortune improving the seventeenth century plumbing, and upgrading the private water supply; we will be upgrading the fabric of the bathrooms for 2010.
We have arranged for a majority of the bedrooms rooms to be flexible, by buying extra-comfortable, sprung single divan beds that can be locked together to form super-kingsize doubles. Two of these have the spare “flipout” divan beds stored underneath. Seven of our rooms are therefore either twins, doubles, or sometimes even triples. Seven of the first floor bedrooms are really nice big generous rooms, with the three attic rooms enjoying the best views in the house but slightly less generously proportioned. The quadruple bunk room is a converted cupboard but really popular with children!
We’ve gone to town with luxurious deep-fill goose and feather
down duvets and pillows, and have sourced gorgeous bed-linen from
the Scottish Linen Company. There’s summer weight synthetic
alternatives for the allergic. Most of our rooms feature antique
mahogany chests of drawers, wardrobes, and mirrors.
