green spacesshabby decorlarge room

The grounds were very picturesque. I found many green spaces and could enjoy the landscape while observing some golf shots (it was quite relaxing). The room was large and quiet. It featured genuinely shabby chic decor, which I appreciated.

Signage across the estate was not very obvious. It made finding my way a small challenge.
