You will find endless places to lay a picnic blanket and relax in the sun and to explore with the family dog. The tennis court set behind the circular driveway will keep more active guests entertained and provides the friendly competition all group gatherings require. Foxholme Manor is your own slice of country living which you can make your own for a weekend or longer.
