Helen was an impecable host, who took care of every detail. Upon arrival, the fireplace was lit and she was there to welcome us. There were plenty of towels and bed linen for every bedroom, even if we didn't need to use all of them. A welcome hamper was much appreciated and useful. We had French friends with us and they were impressed with the house and hospitality. We felt the house was very spacious and well equipped enough to move in and live there permanently. Attention to detail made this an excellent choice for rental.
