The Enchanted Manor was wonderful, a truly magical place. The hosts, Ric and Maggie, really do do everything to make sure their guests are comfortable and well looked after. We had a fabulous suite with bedroom with four poster bed, shower room, living room and bathroom with a slipper bath. There was a box of chocolates on the bed, luxury toiletries for us in the bathroom, and a basket of nibbley food for us too. There were prints of Josephine Wall's enchanting art all over the house, and faeries and angels and other figures all over the place. There were garlands over the doors and even the ceiling in the reception area was painted with fluffy clouds and cherubs. The gardens were gorgeous too, with a more formal area, and a woodland area, and again all over were statues and figures and little touches. After dark a family of badgers visit, we sat in the conservatory (where breakfast is served) and watched them every evening. 

We relaxed in our room with books and painting things, walked in the grounds. We walked down to the sea on sunday, and on satuday walked to the village centre, about a mile away, and got a bus to Ventnor where we visited the Botanic Gardens, and walked along the coast path. 

I am going to put an album up on my flickr account (I am jackiesjottings on there  too if anyone wants to add me to their contacts. I'll add you back). I should put some photos on here too.

I came back so relaxed and I hope maybe to go back sometimes
