The priory was then re-constructed in the 1600's from the burnt out remains, there are still ruins from the old building in and around the walled garden where the swimming pool is now situated.The Old Priory is an absolutely charming Grade II Listed Farmhouse which has been running as a successful B&B for over 30 years by the current owners who are proud of their AA 4 stars listing and excellent repeat customer base.
