The sumptuous Honeymoon Loft suite has a large private sitting room with doors to an elevated tree top deck and an enormous bedroom with half poster bed, wood burning fire and full bathroom with roll top bath.
The Honeymoon Garden Cottage is tucked under trees in a secluded part of the gardens and has a large private deck with attached undercover terrace.
