  The Estate is evolving, and as such there may be other properties on the estate which are undergoing renovation or development during your stay. Pricing has been designed to reflect that. Although you may see or hear some evidence of the ongoing developments, the owners are naturally keen to minimise any disruption to guests. If you have any questions, please let us know.
