I read the reviews before booking this place and many of them said that the house and the gardens look even better then in the photos...I totally agree. We weren't really lucky weatherwise but it didn't matter, it's an amazing place and you can't find a better place to get stuck inside or come back to after a day in rain. It has everything you need and more.
There are many bays nearby to explore plus so many great places to visit - so much history everywhere!
