Peaceful B & B in Rural Location close to Gavray

Our detached family home has lovely views of the surrounding countryside with many walks or cycle rides from your doorstep. If you would like to bring your fishing rods then we can arrange for you to have a permit to fish from the river that runs through our garden, we also have a lake fully stocked with trout and carp.

For the ladies a neck/back and shoulder massage using essential oils is available on-site, also sugaring, manicures and pedicures. (pre-booking necessary for treatments). The garden is both large and pretty, enjoy the moorhens and red squirrel whilst in the bathroom brushing your teeth or maybe just sit by the river and watch the birds including kingfishers and birds of prey.

For your children there is an enclosed area of the garden with a slide and space for playing, so your children can play whilst you relax knowing they will be safe away from the lake and the river.

We also have our own little dogs, ducks, chickens and goats so the children can help with feeding the animals and collecting the eggs if they would like to. Please note this is a no smoking house and also we do not allow guests to bring their own pets.

Meals are served in our dining room or in the sunshine outside if you prefer. We have a large fireplace in the dining room to make it warm and cosy during the winter months. Breakfast is continental including fresh croissants and fruit
