The New Merchant Room

Merchant Room

The Merchant Room was one of the first rooms we refurbished when we arrived and created The Old House Guest Accommodation almost six years ago. As the four-poster bed joined us a few years later, we realised this year that the fabrics were looking a little tired and it was time for an upgrade.

We were lucky to find a very talented lady in Yorkshire who is an excellent seamstress and she made the bedspread for us. Locally, Yvonne made the curtains and cushions. With the colour change on the walls to a paler blue, we were very happy with the finished result which sat very comfortably with the William Morris wallpaper.

Merchant Four Poster

It’s one of our favourite rooms (they’re all nice!), but with a great view over the medieval Market Square, people-watching during the day, the comfort of the cosy four-poster, and a room with a bath and shower, what more could you wish for?

The Breakfast Room

Breakfast Room

Our guests have different needs for breakfast – some people like the leisurely affair; others like to eat and go, but they have one thing in common – great food and a great choice.

Our breakfast and hot drinks service area has been in place for just over a year, so many of our guests will have already enjoyed the choice of Nespresso coffees, using the Quooker hot water tap for tea and hot chocolate.

Ingredients are sourced from all over the UK and we make breakfast fresh for every meal. Now we offer a wide range of fruit and herbal teas, great coffee and a great choice of items for your breakfast.

With a free copy of the ‘i’ newspaper every morning, and something to read in the big range of Sunday papers, there’s plenty of time to make a leisurely start to the day – or to get started as soon as you like.
