The property is excellent & set in beautiful, large grounds in a lovely part of Dorset. The garden is superb with impressive ponds, statues and flowing water. Staff at the estate office were friendly and helpful. There was only one negative as mentioned above - there was a lot of algae in the ponds, needing removal, and there were no koi carp iRead moren the pond (s) . Otherwise, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable break. Hide
