The house

Old character.
A fresh chapter.

Thoughtfully refurbished while keeping its original character, Possum House has a story all its own. Known for its appearances in television advertisements in the 1980s, it is now a welcoming place to come back to after a day out.

A whole house to share, three bedrooms to retreat to, and the freedom to enjoy your holiday at your own pace. A family break, a few days with friends, or a base for exploring the region — make it your own.

For days out together.
And evenings that feel like home.
