Matsons House is a delightful Country House A Grade II Listed Building, Part of the house was
built around the 14th century and started out as a Hall House. In the 18th century the Georgian part

Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms for guests with tea & coffee making facilitIes, one with ensuite bathroom & one other bathroom. There is also a shower in the downstairs cloak room.
