We spent a lovely week in bailiffs house- such a quirky stay. Lovely people. Great to see the peacocks, ducks and chickens. However took a while to get used to the peacock wake up calls. We walked to the waterfall - just wasnt an easy trek as we hoped and could only see the top. Beds were comfy, bathroom lovely living room could do with an update.
