The propery was very quiet as it was set back a long way from the main road, which was ideal for us

What a treat to stay on a private estate surrounded by beautiful acreage and opportunity for walks on the property. The Victorian Kitchen and Games Room were also a unique feature. Many thanks to the hosts for the welcome gifts and kind hospitality. I would gladly stay again the next time I'm in the area.
