There are three outdoor seating areas in different parts of the garden, each with its own individual bench, and an outdoor dining terrace with a large table overlooking the lovely hay meadows in front of the newly renovated historic barn. The traditional wildflower meadows are full of buttercups in the spring and ox-eye daisies in summer. Kids can play in the garden, and also in the field after the hay has been cut. The fields provide a wonderful habitat for wildlife, with owls, kestrels, deer, rabbits and pheasants galore!
