Featherstone House Holiday Let

What a beautiful weekend it’s been for our guests, celebrating their daughter’s 21st birthday, the blossom is stunning covering the grass like confetti.

and over night the blossom has appeared, always my favourite time of the year here at Featherstone House, the weather has been beautiful this past month, the garden is looking so pretty and feeling very peaceful, we have availability at the end of this month and weekdays throughout May, a great place to relax and forget about all the madness going on in the world !
