    The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and willing to really share their BEAUTIFUL home with me. Breakfast was really five star. The room was very comfortable and the interior design was really lovely. I cannot rate this highly enough. Little touches like biscuits, chocolate and hand sanitizer in the room. Attention to detail was extremely good. Lovely garden and hot tub. Location for me was perfect as I used to live nearby and was visiting friends in the area. I came away with loads of ideas for interior design, hoping I can use them.
