Wonderful
Wonderful property and location. Jo and Paul very helpful indeed. For a large group this house is fabulous. I can think of nothing whatsoever negative to say beyond just asking that the piano be tuned ahead of our next visit (!). Thanks from our group of 17 for allowing us the privilege to stay.
