I came for a week to have a artistic residency and couldn't have asked for a better place to tuck in for some writing and recharge. Incredible value (which is so appreciated as a budget traveller) for the loveliest place to call home with such thoughtful details like a welcome gift of apple juice from the orchard, all kitchen requirements, and an extension cord (so helpful!). To be situated inside the estate and gardens was really special, not to mention the views of the Blackwater, Barron's Bakery, the very excellent grocery store with lots of local products, and proximity to both the coast and the mountains. The spiral staircase should definitely be taken into consideration in terms of access, it's small and steep and I had a wee slip after the rain when I wasn't minding mInding my steps one day - so long as that is manageable for folks I couldn't recommend more and very much hope to return myself one day!
