Perfect
We visited today for the first time and what a lovely place, staff were all great, garden is amazing, perfect for a sunny day. This time we didn't have the children but next time we will as there's bits for them to climb on plus the river at back of garden with a pair of wellies they will probably be paddling. We had the ploughmans lunch with extras and it was presented perfectly.
We will definitely be back, it's so close to us but you feel like you're a million miles away which for me = perfect
