Pretty bedrooms are supplied with bathrobes and facecloths, fresh milk and home-baked biscuits; a posy of garden blooms makes a cheery welcome. There’s home-baked bread, home-made granola, local honey and freshly ground coffee at breakfast. The enthusiastic hosts can offer advice from stately homes to seal safaris.
