Boasting luggage storage space, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Our hostess was such an exceptional person. She met us with two pots of tea and homemade fruitcake and scones. Every day there was fresh squeezed orange juice and a delicious breakfast with amazing choices. The rooms were like something out of good Victorian novel with real silver brush and comb sets, exquisite linens, and enormous bathrooms. And each room had a selection of well-chosen books that demonstrated the fact that the hostess is an avid reader. I loved the fact that it was a family property with unusual things like foxes on the wall from prior years when the family used to hunt.
