The delightful place to stay in a rural setting.
Pros:

This a beautiful character filled property. It's quiet with big rooms and friendly staff. The property looks great at night with the flood lights on the trees.
During my stay, I enjoyed a hearty breakfast and then the 5km walk around the estate grounds.
