Each year our family of 15 - 3 generations come together for a family holiday. The house and grounds are exceptional. The views are outstanding. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped when cooking for a large group. The outside barbecue and seating area are to a high standard. All bedrooms are very comfortable.

Lovely accommodation. The house is so well equipped and a real home from home. It is also set in beautiful grounds with amazing views. It was the perfect retreat for our family of 15. We enjoyed our croquet and table tennis tournaments and made good use of the karaoke machine. We all had a fantastic time and would highly recommend to others.
