The river Wye and the landscape was quite entrancing. The garden is interesting and full of flowers. Plenty of wildlife and birds around. The property itself was spacious⦠clean and comfortable. Spoke with the owner who was very friendly and helpful. Would have no hesitation in returning there for another break!
