The gardens/ponds are lovely. The breakfast was indescribable. We had poached pears on apple walnut French toast. Our privacy was always respected. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Our hosts offered us numerous suggestions on what to see and where to go.

Having booked a room by email, I received no confirmation at first and it was only after chasing them several times that I finally heard back from them. Then, when we... More
