The views are a constant companion, drawing you outside through the French doors and into the garden. There is a private hot tub, multiple seating and dining areas, a BBQ and a firepit, as well as a large lawn perfect for games. Guests can enjoy a traditional game of bowls or croquet, or simply settle back and admire the surrounding countryside.
