We had such a fantastic time. Myself and my four children and their partners all came to scatter my mum’s ashes in the nearby hills and celebrate my birthday. The house is wonderful. So full of character ( and books! which was a very special addition to me) The facilities are amazing, such a well stocked kitchen which one of my son’s who is a chef was most appreciative of. I look forward to returning to this property one day. ##### Janice H.
