Full on luxury in a rustic setting
As retired antiquarians and interior designers, the property has been updated to the highest of standards. As birdwatchers and nature lovers, the property did not disappoint with the variety of species. Mr and Mrs Roger are lovely people. We highly recommend a stay.
