This was our second stay at this beautiful property. We absolutely love it, with its unique history, incredible views and relaxing feel. It’s not a 5* stay. It is a very old house and feels it but we think it’s perfect.

The stay was a family retreat just for 2 days. I found the setting beautiful, the house is about 163 years old, so that has to be appreciated, but to me added a bit to the charm. Thanks
