Our family enjoyed a relaxing weekend getaway at The Rise - authentic farm stay surrounded by open landscape views, fresh air and the mellow farm sounds. Great location for exploring Gloucester falls ...and the national park, picturesque drives. The house was really comfortable and offered that warm feel of a country home, beautifully furnished, would love to visit again.
