Beautiful house with a lot of history in beautiful surroundings, everything you need for the perfect stay was supplied, an extra touch was the welcome pack left for us by the hosts . The house owner sent a text saying as no further guests were arriving on the Monday holiday we had no rush to leave at 10am and could leave later in the day, this thoughtful gesture was much appreciated.
