10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was excellent. The bed was comfy, the house was quiet. The view was beautiful. Breakfast was excellent and the host was very personable. Jim and Katrina care. I had never been asked by a proprietor as to what they could do better. There was nothing. Jim has lots of suggestions for dinner. We went to the Fox and Hound, great advice.
