Uncork a bottle of wine – from the area, of course – and you can happily spend a few hours enjoying food, drink, and the quiet conversation of your loved ones in this tranquil location.

Floral displays are peppered throughout the house, adorning walls, cushions and pillows, as a distinct nod to your rural location.
