Within the soft stone-coloured stucco exterior you will find the matching warmth of family hospitality. Your hosts Janet and Jonathan Craft are waiting to welcome you to their home packed with treasures from their travels around the world.

On arrival, enjoy afternoon tea or pre-dinner wine and nibbles in the gracious drawing room replete with antique furniture and the Craft family's collection of beautiful watercolour paintings.

Relax in front of a blazing log fire during the chillier months of the year or in summer stroll out through the French doors to fill your senses with the sight and smell of the superb collection of old and new shrub roses.

Enjoy a choice of hearty English, Super Continental or Champagne breakfasts and a fine three-course dinner with wine (the premises are licensed), using local produce. Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit are sourced within a ten mile radius of Valley Farm, where ever possible. Vegetarian dishes are always available.

All the beautifully appointed bedrooms have en-suite or private bathrooms, television, radio, full drink-making facilities and electric blankets. Every luxury is provided to make your stay a special treat to remember.
