Jackie was a wonderful host. We had a girls weekend of talking, relaxing, eating and some wine. She told me I would fall in love with Murphys, and she was right. We really had a great long weekend!

Great friends getaway

Had a great few days here. House is clean, well stocked, and good communal areas and enough space for the four of us. It’s also an easy walk into town which made it perfect when we wanted to stretch our legs, walk to wine tasting, etc. overall was a lovely stay.
