Fabulous stay at beautiful Georgian house
Had the best experience at this place. Gorgeous decor of the house really elevates the whole stay, and the Buddha breakfast is such a nice treat to start off the day. Paul and Mike run this place so well and took such great care of us. Giving us personalized recommendations and make me and my mum’s stay here the highlight of her 3 weeks trip.
