Great stay. A beautiful period home that has been renovated to a high standard, keeping all the original features with (non-functional) fireplaces and pressed metal ceilings. Perfect size for us (2 couples, grandparent and 2 adult children). Communication, access, amenities all excellent

This was such an amazing home to stay in , great for family’s or groups of friends going away to stay together . Close to Tavern for Dining options and a walkable distance to the gardens . We will absolutely book this again if we are down that way again. Parking out the back was great so cars are secure , however is a bit of a tight turn around if your not comfortable to reverse down the little driveway :)
