Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This place spelled straight out of a Victorian novel! The beds were quite comfortable, and we very much enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen. We also loved that there were sheep and a historic graveyard adjacent to the property, so we enjoyed walking around the neighborhoods in the evenings and hearing all of the jackdaws come into roost. Our hosts met us at the property for check-in. Altogether, I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
