Hello and welcome to my lovely B&B. Here’s a little about me.. I’m a local girl and have lived within Berkshire and the surrounding areas for most of my life, I can give you lots of advice on my local knowledge of places to visit and things to experience. I am very free spirited and a little bohemian at times, I love going to Festivals and experiencing all genres of live music.... I’m a bit of a want to be interior designer, I love old vintage finds and restoration. You’ll see snippets of this throughout the Farmhouse. I have been working on my lovely old Farmhouse for nearly 10 years now, it’s been a labour of love, but I’m very excited to share it and welcome lots of lovely guests from all backgrounds and destinations. I enjoy meeting new people very much and sharing the love of my home and the beauty of our surrounding villages. Yoga and meditation are my passion, I enjoy running and getting outside as much as I possibly can. I’m a very keen traveler myself and travel as much as my time allows, I have been to India many times for my Yoga, I am truly In awe of the beauty and culture that this wonderful country has to offer.

For over nine years, Karen has channeled her passion and vision for restoration and has independently transformed her beloved 18th century farmhouse into a “stunning property with heaps of character” and describes her project as “a labour of love”. The seven-bedroomed farmhouse is nestled in the heart of the English Countryside and is a picturesque setting to celebrate Birthdays, anniversaries, local events, weddings or to simply escape the hustle and bustle of city-life. Each of the seven bedrooms are elegantly finished with luxurious fabrics and country furnishings with a focus on promoting rest, recuperation and tranquility.
