Our stay was great, we filled the rooms with 7 of us staying. The Shooting Tower is unique, its very different in a positive way and has a totally wonderful charm about the place. Tasteful art pieces, considered and thoughtful interior décor and dressings have all helped to enhance the age and the feel of the property. Good location, easy access to larger towns and places to visit with a good local pub The White Hart a short walk away. Very happy bunch of visitors.
