The properties are peppered with historic features; from an old well that is illuminated through the kitchen floor of Manor Cottage; a four poster bed in the double room of the farmhouse that was said to have belonged to Lady Hamilton; traditional fire places and clome ovens in the cottages in farmhouse; and flag stone slate floors in the farmhouse which were laid when the property was built.
