The Moss Grove Organic offers 5-star guest accommodation, designed to be both luxurious and environmentally friendly. The spacious en suite rooms have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi and Bose Entertainment systems.

Fair trade tea and coffee and organic biscuits are available in the rooms, whilst under-floor heated bathrooms have spa baths and organic toiletries.
Moss Grove serves a Mediterranean buffet breakfast using organic, fair trade and local produce. Free on-site parking is available.
