Built in the 1800s, The Rookery was originally the manor house for the owner of the local coal mines. Set in one acre of grounds, guests can be assured of peace and quiet after a day of touring, meetings or local business. With 12 en suite rooms the house is owned and run by Verena and Paul Brandon, who pride themselves that it offers only the best in style and service, coupled with a relaxed atmosphere for their guests. The Rookery is a place where you can truly feel at home. All rooms are en suite, have direct dial telephones, hot beverage facilities, hair dryer, central heating and a colour television.
Rooms are either with bath and shower or with shower only.
We have family rooms and there is a 'honeymoon' suite with a four poster bed. Ironing boards are available on request. We are very much family orientated and our large family rooms ensure that Mums, Dads and children are totally comfortable throughout their stay. The lounge at The Rookery is your 'home from home', being comfortable while reflecting the overall style and character of the guest house. The lounge has a television and a large selection of books and games.
