The property was beautifully maintained and cleaned to a very high standard, the garden is fantastic we had barbeques and with the kitchen doors opening fully it was easy for everyone to flow inside and out with ease. We had someone come and greet us on our arrival showing us around the property and answered our questions about the areas we had planned to visit, champagne and cake left for our arrival which we happily sampled. |

I stayed here with a group of friends all of mature(ish) years and our first impression was pleasing. It took a day to begin to see that all was not as it seemed in this supposed luxury cottage.... more |
