You might be woken by magpies. Or kookaburras. Or King parrots. Or crimson rosellas. Or ring-tailed possums leaping about on the roof. All of these creatures will visit during daylight, too, hoping for a feed. This is a quiet and secluded escape: very much function over fancy. The snooker table was fun, but the cue ball is chipped and the cues lacked their felt tips. The fire was tricky to light but once roaring, added ambience that outshone the cosy central heating. The Aga has seen better days and is good for re-heating food, but not for cooking. Breakfast at the Manor is included, extensive, and features very large serves.
