The author, Beatrix Potter, stayed at Ees Wyke on several occasions when the family rented the house as a holiday home. The house was then known as Lakesfield. Later she purchased nearby Hill Top Farm, the setting for six of her books of which the first was "The Tales of Peter Rabbit". We know from her letters to her publisher that she stayed here while editing "The Tales of Peter Rabbit".
The breakfast menu features locally made sausage and dry cured bacon from our butcher and homemade bread.
