WHEN LIFE CAN STAND STILL

After a day of “discover Rutland” and for real tranquillity take your favourite read, a blanket and a glass of….down to our lower meadow and listen to the sparkling stream as you relax under the alders and willows. Keep an eye open for a wheeling red kite or the tap of a woodpecker as the birds sing for you and the mallard swim in the stream.

As the summer sun puts its hat on, venture inside the sitting area, recline on the sofas and enjoy the cosy log burner together with a favourite board game or movie to keep all the family entertained.
