celebrating that special family occasion.

formal dining room and the family sitting
room look out over the south-facing gardens.

their dramatic ceiling murals and fabulous
sea views and the master suite with its
separate dressing room and unexpected snug
and roof terrace designed by an 18th-century
sea captain to represent a ship’s stern will
take one’s breath away.
Cricket or
croquet can be enjoyed on the lawn as well
as golf, tennis or freshwater fishing at the
village lake (for a small fee). Numerous
