This property is lovely. An old building with lots of character, and many nooks and crannies! Gardens are lovely. Great for exploring or just relaxing.
Just a couple of points There are lots of mats around the property which proved a bit of a trip hazard. The plug hole in the shower room needs descaling as the shower tray was prone to filling with water. The bathroom was beautiful but no hook for the shower attachment or a curtain. We all ended up using the one shower… except the children who loved the bath.
Overall we had a lovely stay though would definitely book again.
