With views along the peaceful Irfon Valley, Kilsby House is a haven for wildlife enriched by the clean air and our own natural spring water from the hilside. The night sky is untouched by artificial light and the peaceful surroundings will help to make your stay uniquely rewarding. Comfortable space to relax beside wood-burning stoves during the cooler weather, books to read, games to play and even perhaps a spell of entertainment on the piano.
