    The only comment made over weekend was more mirrors or even a couple of long mirrors but that was it . It had everything we needed.

  • Sharon

    The house is finished to a high standard and so comfy. The host was so helpful with any questions we had & a lovely hamper was there when we arrived with all essentials. So happy we stayed and can’t wait to visit again next year. Thank you again for a wonderful stay
