The Manor
The Manor House has 9 bedrooms over three floors; 2 single, 6 twin and one double bedroom. Each of the bedrooms within the Manor House has very different characteristics, which makes each room totally unique. The Character and history filled rooms all benefit from beautiful stone windows with fantastic vies over the extensive front and side gardens.
The Vokins
The Joan Vokins Annexe has 10 bedrooms over two floors; 7 single and 3 twin. The Joan Vokins was built to replace the fire-damaged Medieval tythe barn which stood on the site previously. The rooms are similar in appearance and benefit from either rolling views over the paddock or lovely views across the Manor's central courtyard, which truly comes to life in the summer. The daffodil filled planters spring to life, the chairs, table s and parasols are welcome sight and are very much in demand on warm summer days and evenings.
The Barn
The Barn has four ground floor bedrooms; 2 single and 2 twin. Two of the rooms are adapted for disabled users. The very attractive converted barn, conference room and two bedrooms still retain the beautiful original beams. All bedrooms benefit from central courtyard views or views over the back garden across the converted cottages know as the Gillett's.
The Gilletts Cottage
The Gilletts cottage in the grounds of Charney Manor offers another five bedrooms including three twin rooms and two single rooms. The Gilletts is available for self-catering groups or private use and can also be offered as additional accommodation for residential groups which are using Charney Manor as a whole.
