Two bicycles enable guests to take either a short or longer ride along the bike trail that’s right outside the entrance before relaxing between freshly ironed Egyptian cotton sheets at the end of the day.
There's an gorgeous outdoor fire to take the nip off spring and autumn evenings and we hope guests will pick in season from the abundant fruit trees and herbs around the garden.
