The gardens were beautiful and you could really sense how much the property meant to the owners. The house has wonderful games and the paddle boards and kayaks with the perfect cricket lawn meant there was lots to do. Multiple decks meant different age groups could congregate in different areas. ##### Vanda J. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl W.
