We spent our 10th wedding anniversary at Catherine's place with our 2 sons aged 8 and 11 and had a brilliant time. Others have commented on how it is beautifully presented, well equipped, set in a magical spot with wildlife, and I certainly endorse all of those comments. However, I wanted to add one of our own experiences. Our 11 year old had the night before finished reading the Hobbit and declared on arriving at the house he had nothing to read. Further the ONLY book in the universe he was interested in reading was Fellowship of the Rings! I suggested he look at the very full bookcase in "his" room to find something, a suggestion that was abruptly dismissed. However, after a quick look by me I was able to present him with a copy for the weekend. He didn't know whether to laugh or growl! And he wasn't the only one who found something to read. My husband and I both wished we had longer to read the huge range of great books, trying out the many fabulous reading spots, both inside and out. We'll be back for sure! Many thanks.
