The two bedroom Duck House can accommodate up to six guests. The house is furnished in heritage style, with antiques, memorabilia and brass and iron beds in the bedrooms. There is a fully-equipped kitchen and dining room. The bathroom has a claw foot bath and walk-in shower. Provisions for a full breakfast, including eggs, bacon, cereals, yoghurts etc. are supplied.
