Really lovely and unique place to stay, bonus for it being dog friendly! The grounds were beautiful, but it was a bit difficult to work out where we were allowed to walk - more physical signage would be useful around the estate. Overall, would recommend this for anyone looking for cozy nights and days spent exploring, all in a super unique and fun building! :)
