LAGR101 - The Retreat
About the home
The house is about 150 years old and has been renovated and decorated in keeping with its age and traditional style and design, to comfortably sleep 8 guests.
It is a perfect retreat from the stresses and strains of busy life. You won't find internet access here, nor is there television or a phone, just peace and quiet for a perfectly relaxing holiday in stunning surroundings.
Ideal for aspiring artists, writers, musicians or people who just want to sit in the sun and read. The owner is an artist and this is evident in the house, from his work which is displayed on the walls to the decorative style of the whole house. A gorgeous place to chill-out and revive your spirit.
