from the initial enquiry on the property mid year through to our late checkout Jayne's communication was flawless. the house was perfect; i turned up with a box of 'staples' with the exception of milk, butter and bread all of which were sat waiting for us along with some delicious fresh strawberries and local wine (thank you!). my staples weren't required; this would have to be the best stocked kitchen i've ever visited with the range and quality of glassware, crockery, serving platters and cutlery through to all the staples in the 'pantry' (including aeroguard, matches, freezer bags, clingwrap through to s&p, oil even ice packs in the freezer). every bedroom was gorgeous with stunning bedding, beautiful touches and comfortable beds and pillows. both bathrooms had all amenties meaning two could share at the same time. we'd taken towels for the spa but, again, this wasn't necessary as lovely soft quality towels were in the laundry (which was well equipped for washing/drying/ironing etc). check in/out was straight forward with a key box, the property was easy to find with plenty of parking for multiple cars. the house was spotless with lots of space in the kitchen, a big dining table that would seat 10 and the views out made you feel like you were int he middle of nowhere despite local houses and a short walk into the town. the picnic table, outdoor seating and spa were brilliant and the group of 7 females enjoyed a wonderful weekend. thank you both for your outstanding hospitality, stunning sparkling home and making for a very special birthday!
