Our spacious bed and breakfast room,Mopani was originally the pig shed of the farm.The room is furnished with an African flavour.The wall lights of ostrich egg and cattle horn provide a soft glow in the evening.African baskets and batiks adorn the walls and the curtains and bed dressings are of a print reminiscent of guinea fowl plumage.The bed head is made from a family treasure,the mirrored part of my grandmother's sideboard.The bed is king sized and there is also a single day bed which can be used for relaxed seating or as a spare bed when two people prefer not to share.A huge sky-light over the bed and bath are perfect for star-gazing or watching the clouds roll past from the bed or bath

  

The Hen House breakfasts start with local Roskillys apple juice,cereals or chilled fruit compote topped with local .                                                                   A farmhouse platter of local sausages and bacon,sauted Cornish potatoes with fresh garden herbs,baked beans,mushrooms and tomatoes is very popular which is then topped off with the freshest eggs from our chickens.                                            Our continental platter is a selection ofcheeses, parma ham,smoked loin of pork,boiled eggs with fresh tomatoes and olives.                                                                     Our third choice is Newlyn oak smoked smoked haddock again served with eggs cooked to your liking and vegetables from the platter                                                         To follow we toast our home made bread and serve with home made preserves and pots of steaming coffee and tea.(Few need lunch !!)                                                                                                                               Puno is the second of our B & B rooms and is furnished with a hint of Peru.The curtains and bed dressings are in an Inca print and the walls are hung with tapesties woven by the Uros Indians who live on floating reed islands in the middle of Lake Titicaca.A mobile of tiny reed boats and atmospheric photos of Machu Piccu complete the theme.This room is built into the earth and was originally where the hens lived. 

 

Puno's huge bathroom has windows on two sides which flood the room with light,one looking out over a lawned area and the other onto the central courtyard and patio.Here you can bathe in a four poster bath(well two posts anyway) surrounded by billowing curtains and light from the candles.The luxurious bath has carpeted steps into it.Showering is an equally spacious experience owing to the wide setting of the curtains.                                                           Guests have commented that this bathroom is larger than most B & B bedrooms!
