Both the cottages are beautifully appointed and well equipped, with individual character, original features, pine furniture and pretty fabrics all enhance their old-world charm.

This is the second time we have stayed at Delph House, Grange House Farm. It makes an ideal base for family gatherings. Very well equipped. Lovely living/ dining area with character. Grange House Farm has an interesting history. Very reasonably priced in comparison with other cottages of similar size. Good parking space. Peaceful setting.
