We had such a lovely time and were so lucky with the weather. A lovely house and garden. Timed it for a heatwave and the only suggestions would be upstairs got very hot and stiffling and we could have done with umbrellas for the garden. Such a lovely place, well stocked and close to lots of amenities and walks.
