Setting and hospitality was lovely, BUT mice running on counter in kitchen and through the ceiling during night kept us up, a lot of flies dive bombed me when trying to sleep, dead flies and mouse droppings to deal with. ALSO the steep stairs with no handrail or fall protection was a big concern and the large drop into the attic bedroom needs a step. Dining was closed as chef was away so don't count on food but kitchen setup was good. Had a nice woodstove for a fire to take the chill off and comfy sitting area. ##### J Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adele Feb 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A real find.

The upstairs hall smells like cat urine. When we arrived the woman seemed like we were a bother. The gentleman was very nice and helpful in the morning. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie, Christchurch Jul 31, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We arrived at this lovely country house and were warmly welcomed by Simonetta. We were told we were the only ones staying that night and we basically had the run of the house. Our room had a lovely verandah which overlooked the gardens. Dinner was arranged for 7pm and was delicious. Pumpkin and Scallop soup, Rack of Lamb and Peaches with Ammaretti. It was a very cold night and we were very glad of the lovely fire in both the dining room and the lounge. We retired to our room fairly early as we had a busy next day. The bed was extremely comfortable and warm. Breakfast was great too. After returning home, I realised I had left my pillow and contacted Simonetta who very kindly organised to post it to me. Much appreciated. ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jia Lu, 北京 Feb 21, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 英式奢华庄园 非常有情调的庄园，英式庄园的布局，有很多公共区域可以坐坐，服务非常好，很多很多银制餐具茶具，晚餐非常讲究，又不是很贵，早餐也很好。空闲可以院子里转转，街拍的好地方。 ##### Jia Lu ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 16, 2017 #### Good location Location is good for travel.. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### soisick Dec 24, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### B&B superbe !

Allt var inrett i en mysig lantlig stil och trädgården var fantastisk. När vi kom hade vi även fått färska ägg från hönsen och en flaska med mjölk från korna. Synd att vi bara var där två nätter, vi hade gärna stannat längre. ##### Elin ### 8/10 Good #### ben, christchurch Jan 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely quiet destination, magnificent country hous An amazing country house sets the scene for this quiet and beautiful location.
