Becky was very helpful and all that were in an around the farm were so lovely and accommodating. Facilities were great and the whole set up was just perfect. We visited Aldwick Estate for a vineyard tour which is a 10 minute walk up the road and would highly recommend it! Just a perfect time and couldnât be happier, thank you so much to all involved
