Located close to places we wanted to visit. Nice complimentary hamper was left by Sally which was a nice touch and well appreciated. All the bedrooms were nicely decorated, and good sized beds in each room. The bathrooms have really nice showers which is important to a group of 4 ladies. The kitchen was a good size and everything that you need and a good sized dining table. Overall this is a super accommodation and would recommend to groups of friends and families The house was so warm that we kept the heating off most of the time
