    The property is quite lovely. The garden cottage, whilst small, has everything you might need for a self contained stay. I particularly enjoyed the complimentary glass of Sauvignon served by Julia. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.

The original part to the property is late 18th Century- said to be haunted, I’ve never had an occurrence, although I did wonder if my teenagers were possessed 😬 The house is made from local sandstone and quite often gets mistaken for a church. I run my businesses Empoweru and WINEntwine from my home. It’s always been a wonderful place to live. There’s a well in the lounge, just one amazing thing to notice.
Running bnb for a number of years with my different properties. My youngest child is now off to university so I need to keep occupied. I like everyone who stays to feel completely at home here.
Set in the beautiful Surrey countryside we have some greats walks just round the back of my property. Excellent country pubs and sites to see such as Pooh corner and the Ashdown Forest.
