A fabulous property in a wonderfully isolated location with immense views - it really felt that we had got away from it all for a week. Interesting building sympathetically renovated to a very high quality - comfortable, spacious and well equipped whilst retaining original features such as the chapel bell (and its pull - a useful alarm) and footscrRead moreapers. Glorious woodland walks a short drive away across the river and dog loved the field below the chapel. Games room proved very popular. Hide
