Susan's Feedback
“We all had the most wonderful Christmas at your lovely home. Our age range was from 20 months to 96, and each one had a great time. The children played carols on the piano after Christmas dinner and it was the best place for hide & seek. We have never stayed anywhere that was so well stocked with pots, pans & everything you needed.”
