Our hosts were kind, gracious, and helpful with answering questions and giving us some local history and tips. We did not get to do much as it was raining but enjoyed our stay regardless because of the hospitality and the beautiful space. (We only stayed one night but would recommended more nights.)

All was great but if you do not have a car then it would be much harder to get here.

Freedom to come and go. Very comfortable bed (with electric blanket :-) . Quiet location.

Very cold bathroom. Scalding hot spa, sadly too hot to climb into :-(
