With parts of the building dating back to the 14th Century, there is no surprise that the building itself acts as a focal point throughout the property.

Not only can you take a relaxing journey down the Dronne river in a canoe but you can try your hand at stand up paddle boarding or take to the cliffs and trees for some adventure above ground.
