Perfect time away, we just couldn't use the gas grill.
Beautiful house, staff were friendly and everything worked. A wonderful weekend getaway.
The house is beautiful and fantastically furnished. However, the plug in the bath in the master bedroom is leaking and it rained at one point and then the roof leaked too. But we had a great time.
