Lovely!
We loved this sprawling, three-storey mansion, with its staircases and passageways, the pool room, the lovely kitchen/conservatory/dining area. Just great in every way. A bit too big for our group of 11, but so much fun and we all got the rooms we wanted!

Wonderful
Wonderful property and location. Jo and Paul very helpful indeed. For a large group this house is fabulous. I can think of nothing whatsoever negative to say beyond just asking that the piano be tuned ahead of our next visit (!). Thanks from our group of 17 for allowing us the privilege to stay.
