Week Away Part 1: Barnsley Gardens

Last week was such fun, as Andre and I took some time off work and went away! We spent three days at Barnsley Gardens, a beautiful little resort not too far from home. The Gardens are built around the ruins of a mansion built in the 1840s which fell into disrepair after a storm ruined the roof in the early 1900s.

Instead of a main hotel full of rooms, the accommodations are all spread out in these little cottages.



And then there were the swans, who also have a fascinating story...which we will save for another post, when I have nothing more interesting to share!
