This historical property was amazing! From the moment we drove through the gates, we were taken back in time. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the apartment was furnished with gorgeous pieces from the period. With high ceilings, lead lighting and a stunning canopy brass bed, it felt like the height of luxury. We will definitely be returning!
