10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"Fantastic property. Esther was such a wonderful host. Really thoughtful and welcoming, and the pictures she's painted for the property are lovely. We really liked the spacious living and dining areas. And we all slept comfortably in the beds. House was lovely and clean. I didn't get check in instructions in advance which was a bit nerve wracking. The company appointed to manage the letting weren't especially responsive. But Esther was there waiting for me and gave us everything we needed....
