About Us
The Old Coach House was lovingly restored in 2019 by current owners Caroline and Jon Pembro, with the help of their two sons, Harry and James and a small team of local craftsmen.
Caroline oversees the day-to-day running of the holiday let, although the whole family pitches in whenever needed. The family live in a separate home further up the hill, with their own entrance and driveway, so guests can be assured their privacy will always be respected.
“We’re always happy to help if needed, but equally mindful of giving guests their space.
And if you’d like to spend some time with the llamas, I’d be delighted to introduce you to them and tell you more about life on the farm.”
