Breakfasts, cooked on the kitchen Aga, are large and varied and, as far as possible, locally sourced and organic. Hosts Ginny and Nick are relaxed and hospitable and are always happy to answer guests' queries regarding local features.

We have 4 resident cats and our young very quiet and friendly black Labrador, Fen. Visiting dogs can be accepted provided they are cat and chicken friendly and prior notice is given.

Charcott Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast

They are furnished in pretty traditional country styles with ample clothes storage space and each room is fullly carpeted with fully adjustable central heating together with tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer and mineral water. The old farm bakehouse with it's original beams and brick oven has been converted into a small comfortable sitting room for guests' use where they can relax with a book or colour TV as required.

Notes on accommodation
Breakfasts are cooked by Nick on the kitchen aga and are served communally round the large oak dining room table with individual timings and requirements to suit. As far as possible all products are organic and locally sourced and special diets can generally be catered for provided enough advance notice is given. Fresh fruit, cereals, museli and home-made yoghurt is available from the sideboard and may be followed by a breakfast of choice to include fried eggs with grilled bacon, large field mushrooms, sausages and tomatoes, home-cooked ham, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, smoked haddock, home-made waffles with maple syrup, not forgetting a simple continental for guests with a smaller appetite! Orange juice, filter coffee and tea are of course also available and all is accompanied by piles of home made bread, marmalade and jam.
