Very nice and relaxing holiday. Comfortable beds. The grounds and gardens are very restful. However, there were a few things requiring to be maintained around the house, which I brought to the owners attention. He was very helpful and friendly regarding these. I would recommend this home to anyone wishing to stay here.
