Whether you are there to sample the great food on offer at local restaurants, visiting the Saturday market or the many vineyards or local brewery, Amberley Lodge is the perfect place to throw the anchor out. Plenty of space inside and out to relax with more parking than you will need, a 12 metre swimming pool to use during the summer and plenty of space to kick a ball around. Inside there are 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms 3 showers and toilets. There is a new kitchen with open plan to the dining room and lounge. The house is able to be converted into 2 seperate self contained units, so if there is too much space and you only require 1 2 or 3 bedrooms, this can be catered for. The clever design enables 2 separate groups to share the space without being in each others pockets. This will need to be asked for when initially booking
