Rivertrees had its humble beginnings as a delightful B&B, decorated with cherished family antiques and portraits of a bygone era in the old farm house – a charming setting where guests would enjoy the vistas from the spacious veranda, or curl up in front of the fireplace in the cool evenings. Today, the refurbished Farm House can accommodate up to ten people in four en-suite rooms, each with its own entrance as well as an access to the common living rooms – perfect for groups or families sharing their holiday.
