Christina and Dean’s home and it’s something they are keen to share. “Our plans have evolved as we see how the world changes.” Whilst the house and grounds lend themselves perfectly to events, the couple are keen to embrace variety and accommodate several different ones. “The yoga festival we hosted was a success, and we had some Italian guests staying recently who are actors and are keen to put on a show ere  peraps in te grounds e ouse as recently been opened for exclusive use which has proved popular with golf/whisky tours and weddings. And, with the option of a butler and private chef, guests can enjoy the complete, luxurious, country house experience.
