After our last property this was a palace.
After our last property this was a palace. The location was quiet and serene with lots of deer grazing right up to the property. The property was faultless - clean, comfortable and relaxing. The owners were extremely welcoming. The welcome pack was most generous and welcomed. I am sure we will return in the future.
