A grand medieval structure, the priory has been lovingly and tastefully restored by its owners, Americans Dan and Patricia Pearson-Dullaghan, to provide guests with the utmost in luxurious accommodations.   Despite the spaciousness and elegance offered, the Priory maintains its     intimacy and romance.  Your hosts invite you to experience its traditions and beauty.    Comfortable bed chambers, suites and apartments are waiting to welcome you, each with en suite bathrooms, some with Jacuzzi baths.  The guest rooms have working fireplaces for warmth on chilly evenings, beamed ceilings, and panoramic views of the countryside and the medieval village, including the château, and each has its own sitting area.
