An amazing house with spectacular views from any seat in the house. My family of 8 enjoyed a glorious week at this location and we could not have been more impressed. The house, the nearby animals (...fenced off) and the serenity.
Star gazing at night, and enjoying the full amenities the property has to offer, I cannot recommend highly enough.
So treat yourself to something special !
Ps Any support or questions were just a phone call away and we’re very prompt and helpful.
