The space to socialise, this beautiful property provides perfect opportunity to just be together whilst also allowing for space to have some time to yourself if wished. The games room was such a great experience for our family, all ages playing together, and the kitchen table just perfect. A lovely quiet setting which was wonderfully maintained.
