The Crest is a farmhouse set in 24 acres of orchards. The accommodation comprises 3 double rooms, one en suite, and one single room. All rooms are attractively decorated and are tastefully furnished. The Crest is an 'upstairs, downstairs' house to capitalise on the marvellous views.

Guests can enjoy a full English breakfast or those with not so large appetites can enjoy a continental breakfast. Evening meals can be catered for by prior arrangement.

Guests after a busy day sightseeing may enjoy the tranquillity of our garden or a walk through the orchards. We enjoy talking with our guests, many of whom are on return visits or have been recommended to us by friends.
