Spot deer from the window in the early morning.

  

~ Open All Year Round ~

Walk in the surrounding valleys, whilst buzzards swoop and cicadas sing. Collect eggs from the hens and watch the butterflies drift amongst the flowers, meet our friendly cats as they stroll around the gardens. Sit under the shady terrace or explore ancient villages. Swim and canoe in the river and picnic by the water.
