There’s also a separate family bathroom on this floor. In the morning, let the children run free in the wild garden while you linger over breakfast at the patio table and soak up the peaceful views.

It proved to be a great venue for our festive family get together. The large kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook a full Christmas dinner for 8. There is plenty of room which allowed us to spread out when we wanted to do different activities. At the same time the lounge and dining room were spacious enough for all of us + 2 dogs to enjRead moreoy together time comfortably. Its close to shops, pubs and other amenities. Hide
