The Aidan & Columba Rooms

These south-facing front rooms each have a beautiful original arched window – watching the plasterer score and form the new plasterboard linings into these openings was a treat. (We joked with him about how many tons of plaster he has applied in his 55 years in the trade – he started when he was 15…)

The window openings in the side walls are brand new, but I don’t think you’d know that if I hadn’t told you. These rooms incorporate a nifty built-in wardrobe. The ensuite bathrooms in these two front rooms each have a 1200mm shower tray, so there’s plenty of room to turn around…and the brand new plumbing system is Rolls-Royce! Stop me if this is too much detail... but there are two stainless steel cylinders in the loft, each holding loads of hot water, which is fed at mains pressure to the traditional fixed shower heads. So showering is a very satisfying experience – don’t you just detest those electric showers where you have to walk around to get wet?

Aidan & Columba have all our 'standard' bedroom facilities of course - SuperKing-size beds (Aidan & Columba are 'double-only' rooms), LCD flat-panel TV, drinks-making facilities, hairdryer, and solid wooden furniture, hand-built with timber form sustainable sources.
