If there we re 10 stars available, I would give it 10 stars. The gardens alone would make the stay incredible, but this place is paradise - rainy weather or not. From the gorgeous property, the trails and the beach, to the dog friends and the beautiful house, you can't go wrong with this place. You start each day with a welcoming breakfast. Take your coffee out to one of the sitting areas and enjoy the view of the sheep across the bay, or the rolling waves. If you get lucky you will see the resident seal in the harbor. On a cool rainy day you can have a peat fire in the snuggery. Or enjoy a drink in the sunroom. This place is spectacular through and through. And, it's relatively new, so no spooky ghosts! They truly did not miss a detail when building this place and it shows. Our only complaint is that we had to leave! My son gave it the ultimate compliment when we were pulling away - "I feel like we are leaving home."
