Karen's Review Of This Property:

When I travel I’m always in search of something that is completely different from home and this is the case here as most of my house would fit itnot the entrance hall where Roderick and Helena Perceval keep the “wellies”, fishing paraphernalia, and inclement weather gear. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for beyond lie rooms of enormous proportions. One bedroom is aptly named the half acre. Another is the twins’ room because it has two of everything—all pleasingly idiosyncratic and just bursting with character. Furniture made for the house is still here along with a grand array of family portraits. Roderick makes certain guests are introduced to one another when they gather fro pre-dinner drinks round the fire in the snug little sitting room. Whenever I have stayed there have always been the most interesting of dinner conversations with my fellow guests around the polished dining room table and, of course, the food is always excellent. As for what to do during the day—some folks never leave the estate: there’s a vast lake for fishing (a boat is available for pike fishing), a lakeside castle built by the Knights Templar in 1200, a huge walled garden, and miles of walking paths (Roderick will give you a map). The Percevals have lived here since 1665 and there are some wonderful stories of ancestors’ exploits.
