The house is surrounded by large gardens, with a hard tennis court, croquet lawn - and even a ruined Norman church - for guests’ use. No dinners, but Catherine will direct you to one of several good restaurants within a short drive.

Pets allowed by arrangement (stay in bedroom, no charge). Free broadband wifi. Garden, walking, tennis, croquet. Fly fishing, golf and hunting/shooting nearby. Closed Nov-Feb. MasterCard, Visa.
