Oldie guests have said: a superb week … the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday we’ve had in nearly 30 years of marriage … exceeded our high expectations! … we’ve enjoyed the excellent food and wine along with good conversation, even Peter’s jokes! … [a] haven of peace and serenity complemented by conviviality, humour and great food; the wine wasn’t bad either!
