Dorthe and her family love countryside walks with their little dog Molly and you will always find them in the heart of the home, the kitchen - cooking together.

The George and Dragon is about 4 mile’s away in Hurstbourne Tarrant and they also serve breakfast. The George in Vernham Dean is about 6 miles away. Highclere Castle also know as Downtown abbey in the popular tv series . Bombay Sapphire Distillery are nearby, as well as the quaint market towns of Stockbridge and Hungerford and the ancient beauty city of Winchester. Newbury is also great for shopping. Stone Henge is not to far away either. The wild life is beautiful and you will be able to see lots of bird of prays as well as the other British bird.
