Absolutely beautiful with the games room & hot tub great features to help keep everyone entertained ! Or why not have a BBQ overlooking the stunning rolling hills , just perfect ! I challenge anyone to ask for better . The house itself is huge & allowed for chill out time away from everyone if that’s what you needed . The staff were a pleasure & couldn’t do enough if you wanted anything otherwise you were left alone to relax . Thoroughly recommend a stay at Tinkers Folly , I doubt you’ll regret it !
