Mrs Kathryn Leadbeater
The property and gardens are spacious and interesting, lovely, artistic interiors. Nice touches awaited us from the owner, a generous welcome hamper and beautiful fresh flowers from the garden! A second shower would have avoided the morning queue, but lovely comfortable beds and crisp white bed linen! Great place to stay

Belinda and the girls
I have had the best surprise 50th birthday break here! The girls bought me here for a relaxing stay away from the stresses of life, and it really was just what i needed. The gardens are so calming and really takes your worries away. We had a private chef come in and cook us a meal which was excellent and we must say the dining room was our favourite in the house. All the vases are such a lovely stylish touch! Keith the owner was great and very helpful with local information. I will certainly be back and bring the family. Thank you Keith and the girls for this great stay.
