Welcome

Fennick House was the miller’s house for two hundred years. We kept the beams, the flagstones and the deep window seats, and added good beds, hot showers and fast Wi-Fi.

It’s a small place, so we get to know our guests. Tell us what you like doing and we’ll point you to the right walk, the right pub and the quiet end of the village. Most people arrive for one night and stay for three.
