This is a lovely house in a beautiful setting. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Everything described was there and working. The goodies left for us were delicious. The only reasons we gave 4 stars is the lack of a washing achine and proper oven. We would return.

Hello Caren, How disappointing that you’ve chosen to give us such a bad review (the first in three years of operation). We can only assume that your comment about the grounds being “unkempt” refer to the greening up of the gravel drive - a deliberate move on our part as we don’t use any herbicides. It can cause problems with some people’s perceptions of what a gravel drive should look like. As an act of kindness, over Christmas, we allowed you to bring your dog on the understanding that it was well behaved and supervised. Unfortunately the dog was allowed to wander freely all over the property with the inevitable offerings left behind. The dog was also let into the pool garden and into the pool too! We’re very sorry if your Christmas away from home didn’t match your expectations. Les & Susie
