Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The property is a real gem set in beautiful, quiet gardens, and very close to lots of wineries and tastings! Our room had complete self catering facilities, and a stunning view. Fiona and her dogs are also great hosts. This is really a peaceful place that we could have stayed at for much longer.
