The Rookery is charming and then some. It’s down a beautiful lane and has lots of interior details that delight. It’s very comfortable and a great starting point to explore the region. Chris is also an excellent host—super responsive and helpful. The downsides to this spot: you absolutely can not walk the beautiful lane because it’s so narrow and cars fly by from both directions (obviously there’s nothing Chris can do about this!). I was also disappointed to arrive and discover there’s no oven. That’s a detail I made an assumption about, so again, that’s not Chris’ “fault” either. I highly recommend a stay at The Rookery knowing the limitations in advance.
