The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful, especially the gardens which are stunning and lovely walks in the woods. The house is also much bigger than we expected with two sitting rooms, a lovely kitchen/ diner with patio doors to a lovely patio area with large outdoor dining table with beautiful views over the gardens. Bernadette, the housekeeper is lovely and close by if you need anything and left us all the essentials when we arrived and Gerry the gardener gave us a tour of the place and told us all about the history of the place and the area which was very interesting. Deirdre is a very attentive host, checking everything was OK and communication was good with excellent directions which always helps after a long journey. We would love to come back.
