A lovely sanctuary away from the busyness of life. The property was clean, beautiful and very comfortable and we were rewarded with a stunning dawn chorus each morning. The gardens are beautiful and Janet and Grant our hosts met our requests promptly and with generosity. I would thoroughly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful country retreat.
