Guestbook
“Thank you for a lovely stay at Highgarth. I think we were one of the first to stay here following the re-decoration and re-furnishing. You’ve done a great job and we love the new kitchen. Where did you get the bed linen?"
“As we had the dog, it was great to have an enclosed garden. Lovely cottage inside – nice and warm and we really liked Seahouses village.”
