Guest comments
"Dear Lawrie and Jacqueline, Thank you so much for a really wonderful week at your gorgeous home. We all had a great time and the weather was fairly kind to us, but best of all was staying in your house, which was so comfortable and lovely. We (particularly the children) especially enjoyed the fabulous garden and play barn and found it hard to leave the house most days" Nicky, family and friends - London
