A beautiful large home with plenty of space (both indoors and out)! Was wonderful to have the log burners for a cosy evening. The home has such character to it and a homely, welcoming feel. It is wonderful to be surrounded by fields and be able to wake up to beautiful views and fresh air. I think it would be an excellent venue for a murder mystery dinner! Lots of games and toys are available. Would highly recommend for a big family/group get together! Yvonne and Phil were very helpful, readily available both beforehand and during the stay as needed.
