The first bedroom stands on the right at the top of the stairs. It has a comfortable double bed, some cabinets and chairs.

There is plenty of room for a dog-basket, if you can't bear to be too far away from your canine friend.

Duvets and pillows are provided, so just bring your bed linen and you will be well set.

All the upstairs windows are built into the roof, and have pull-down blinds to guard against those early morning awakenings of summer.
