We were keen to get away from our busy lives and this was a perfect retreat. The house was immaculate and antique items were everywhere. Kids were kept busy with the lego and games. The sheep were very calming. Note that Google maps takes you down a different driveway. Watch out for the Smithbrook stays sign before you turn in. The only toilet is just outside the house, which may be inconvenient for little kids and middle of the night needs.
