Elegant parquet floors with open fireplaces in the dining and drawing rooms evoke recollections of the life and times of the tea planters who once lived here. In the extensive grounds, summerhouses can be found where tea is served and a good book can enjoyed. When the sun begins to set over the water it’s time for sundowners on the terrace overlooking the lake.
