Yet Another Sterling Stay

Another sterling stay at the gorgeous Rockwood Farm House. There have been some internal decor upgrades since we were last here +/-2 years ago, so its still looking clean, crisp and modern. The natural surroundings never disappoint and enough firewood to satisfy any pyromanic.

Perfect Remote Getaway

What an amazing 3 days. The location is amazing. No other people anywhere nearby, a stream with natural pool in front of the lodge, beautiful trees to keep the place cool, lovely walks and good cycle paths. So wonderful to get completely back to nature
