Loved it, Loved it, Loved it. The small woodland walk and the stream were perfect for the dogs, whose recall went from 100% to zero when they saw the pheasants and the rabbits. To have access to such a perfectly lovely property and its grounds gave us a peaceful retreat after long days exploring the area.
