There is a firepit area with stunning natural shelter (the ivy canopy is growing in beautifully), all taking in the views of the rolling hills with the sound of the running stream in the background.If a bit of time out is more your speed, there are plenty of places to park yourself and enjoy the fresh air.For the horse lovers, there is a beautiful paddock with a hand-built horse shelter to keep the feel of the property.
