COME INSIDE THE HOME

Honey Homes is a network of distinctive regional stays, where every home and every stay is held to our Golden Standard. The home was built in 1888, and cottage keeps its original character in timber beams, exposed brickwork and terracotta floors, while the bathrooms and kitchen have been updated for modern comfort. Split levels lead from the sitting room through to a second living room, where the wood heater and TV make an easy place to settle in for the evening. A ladder climbs to a mezzanine loft above, and the back door opens onto a herringbone-brick courtyard for morning coffee outside.
