Bog House is right off the beaten track in glorious open countryside with stunning views; very peaceful - only birdsong to wake you! The property is a spacious stone built barn conversion dating from 1724. Sympathetic refurbishment to a high standard.

The two resident Capheaton terriers (Ginger and Garlic) will give you a warm welcome.

Bog House gets the nod as one of the UK's
10 best B & B's.
