A great place to enjoy with friends
This Arts and Crafts-style house with elegant Art Deco-influenced interior is situated in a spectacular coastal setting. The luxuriant gardens have year-round interest with a wide variety of rare and exotic plants that thrive in the moist and sheltered valley, a gazebo with fine views and water features. The gardens are at their best in March–September.
New for 2011: 'Behind the scenes' areas of the house open.
