Wow, what a fantastic stay! The house was simply stunning and really suited our group of 14. We loved how accommodating the owners were, nothing seemed like too much trouble. We had a blast organising a Murder Mystery set in the Roaring Twenties, along with a birthday bash and a Hawaiian night. Plus, my daughter got engaged there, so it was extra special. Plenty to do too-beautiful walks, nearby townsand even a scavenger hunt to keep us busy. Honestly, we're hoping to return soon!
