Welcome to the Ginger Nut! We are a family run concern and want to share with you the special and quirky delights of this charming period property. We used to own the cafe below but it's now to leased and they're doing a much better job than we did!
We love this flat because it's unconventional, very interesting and just a nice place to be. We have decorated in keeping with this building's Georgian heritage and hopefully you will appreciate it's original features. The main living area and Master bedroom has very large original sash windows inlaid with original wood paneling. On the top floor, there are many exposed beams that are original. There is also a dormer window with far ranging views over Ross and to the countryside beyond. We have tried to make you a home from home with all bed linen and towels provided. The kitchen has all the equipment you need to make a meal and your 1st cup of tea. Please bear in mind this is an old building which includes a couple of sloping floors and a bulging wall. However, this is what makes it such a charming property and we hope you enjoy a comfortable stay.
