My daughter's family stayed here- and we had our family Christmas lunch on the deck. The gardens (and whole property) are a credit to Will. The grandchildren had so much space to find a place to be together or some quiet time for themselves. The doggies loved the garden as well!

It felt like we were intruding into a family's home - a home that was lived in by the family but had gone away during time we were there? Amenities were fair. No breakfast items. Backyard was a good size. Ideal for dogs. (We did not take our dog).
