Your Hosts
Jayne and John have lived at Little Tolmennor for nearly 40 years and, after raising our family, converted the barn to a dwelling in 2009. One or both of us are usually on hand to greet you, show you around and answer any queries or suggest places to visit.
We live next door in the main house and make an effort to respect your privacy, peace and quiet at all times. Our aim is for you to have a thoroughly relaxing break in this lovely part of the world.
