A private deck adjoins this lovely place with outdoor furniture to chill out on and watch the hawks soar by.

Feel free to explore the paddocks. Have a picnic by the pond (garden furniture also provided) or check out our two resident ponies Teddy and Chloe. Also say hello to our 3 ragdoll cats!
The accommodation is not overlooked and feels very private.
