Guest House Tour
Since taking over the guest house in the spring of 2004, our initial concern is to welcome our guests and make you feel at home, in a style that you are accustomed to. Although the property dates back to 1877, it was thoroughly renovated during 1993/94. We plan to further upgrade, refurbish and to restore the properties original Victorian features whilst adding our own individual contemporary style.
The guesthouse and property is currently basically unchanged since it was previously operating as The Chazann Guest House, although we have added in meeting room facilities into the drawing room. Furthermore, we plan to increase the number of letting rooms during the quieter winter months.
Here's a glimpse of what we have to offer, from bedrooms and amenities to our breakfast and dining experience, to our exclusive business meeting room!
