Its nine en-suite double bedrooms can accommodate up to 30 guests - although that's no mean feat compared to some of its other offerings.
One of its best features is the fully-functioning bar where holidaymakers can even pull their own pints.
Beer, lager and cider can be requested before staying, with the owners fitting the full kegs before your arrival so you can learn to pour the drink yourself.
There's plenty to keep younger guests and non-drinkers entertained too with a games area in one of the sitting rooms.
