Wonderful view from the living room window over the gardens. All credit to whoever looks after the lawns and planting. We were here during the bank holiday heat wave,the rhododendron bushes were in full bloom. No need to traipse around in crowds and traffic when you could sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views.
