The Coppice was sold into private hands in 1990 and acquired by the present owners in 2015. After enjoying almost ten years, the owners are now ready to retire and live locally.

During their ownership, the Coppice has been ‘very significantly upgraded’ and now offers 12 rooms and a suite with a private lounge area.
