The Mance - 'with a twist' was a delight! It was such a treat to walk into this lovely and elegant home, after a long day out. It's huge - plenty of room for us and our 2 teenage boys. There's a fully equipped kitchen with every appliance you'll ever need - (the coffee machine was fantastic), indoor and outdoor dining areas, 2 living rooms... separate WC and bathroom (essential for families!). It is beautifully decorated throughout, a kind of retro-French chic styling which was fun to be around. Gorgeous bed linen, bathrobes, subtle lighting... This is very stylish. Lots of books to browse through, all the entertainment you need on hand - 2 TV's, too many movies to mention, Netflix, Wifi - all provided and easy to use. We were all able to find a place to chill out at the end of the day. The rear sun room would be a great place to curl up with a book near the fire in winter, but for our hot summer days there, it opened through french doors onto a lovely courtyard deck, and cool gardens with a fountain. We were welcome to fresh veggies and herbs for our salads, and the BBQ on the deck along with a glass of wine at the end of a hot day was perfect.
Our hosts Trine and Ivor made us feel so welcome, providing all the details we needed about their home, as well as a very useful list of recommendations of places to eat. They were prompt with our queries, provided us with lots of information, and were very courteous and timely with keys etc. We especially appreciated the movie tickets to end our stay at the Mance.
P.S. We needn't have worried about noise from the street - it was so quiet! A great place to stay, wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back....
