Cadhay Manor

The formality of the Elizabethan manor house at Cadhay is nicely balanced by the natural, informal planting in the gardens. Guests can admire the rich colour palette of the old-fashioned cottage garden plants and soak up the relaxing atmosphere. The main lawn is perfect for garden games and as the day draws to a close, the medieval ponds glimmer with dappled light.
