“Wonderful House”
We have just returned from a celebratory long weekend away. The house exceed expectations and the photos don’t do it justice! It was lovely staying in a house full of history and Cranbrook itself had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped for a big group, bedding was fantastic quality and made for a very comfy nights sleep! I will be recommending to family and friends.
