The accomodation is situated near the
main house. We leave the main road N112 and take a B-road for 4 Kms before
joining a small country lane which ends in a track on the estate. Cars can go no
further. Apart from the odd cross-country cyclist or horse rider, there is no
traffic, so your children are safe!

The house is built of local white stone,
consisting of the main living area and the surrounding original farm buildings (
stables and tack room ). The oldest part was built around 1850; With an
extension a little later as the farm prospered. The uprightness of certain walls,
in spite of their age is surprising.
The house is surrounded by seven hectares of fields and
woodland. In the upper fields, a few sheep graze peacefully
and
a few horses 
share
the lower fields.
