Should you be inspired to recreate your favourite recipes from the esteemed Moonacre Cooking School, conveniently situated in the nearby laneway behind the house, this kitchen stands ready.
Alternatively, a brief journey to the Robertson Public House, just minutes away, offers the option of savouring a timeless pub-style meal. And if you're looking to stock up on provisions, the village's splendid array of shops awaits your exploration.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a living room adorned with fresh oak flooring and an artful blend of vintage and contemporary discoveries.

Great weekend getaway
We were looking for a quick weekend getaway. This was a wonderful place. Very comfortable and warm and very tidy. Great kitchen and living area. Nice and close to Robertson’s main street, but far enough away to be super quiet.
