We found this properly last minute and had no real expectation. What we found when we arrived blew us away. The hosts are fabulous, nothing is too much, the place was so clean and the extras left by Gill were so welcome after the drive in. I would go back in a heartbeat, I cannot recommend it enough.

She showed us the suite and introduced us to Max the dog and the farm animals that we greeted each morning. Welcome sweets and bubbly along with homemade marmalade went over and above. The building inspection reports that were left in the suite provided quote the amusement for Engineer spouse. If we can say not news is good news, it was because we had no need to contact the owner the entire time we were there (5 nights). ##### Sharon P.
