Carter’s Croft
A cosy fireside, beautiful bedrooms and spectacular interiors make this calming retreat top of our list for relaxation. Add into the equation that the wonderful owner can also teach Pilates in her on-site studio and we can’t wait for our next weekend away. Tucked alongside The Old Granary and Smugglers Lane, this home-from-home makes perfect use of the original features of the building alongside some beautiful mid-century furniture.
