Country Charm

Lovely space with an urban/country flair. Great art! The friendliness of Michael and Irene was matched by their helpfulness. Lovely, clean and appropriately equipped. An ambitious project to bring all features up-to-date! Restaurant at Painswick was most enjoyable. Thanks for the recommendation🤗Quiet peaceful space. Must drive to all local amenities as you are in the country (as advertised), but walking tracks are close by.
