John's place 'The Rectory' is a charming home with history and character. About a week prior to our visit, John let us know Caroline would be available to help with the check-in. She was great, accommodating a late arrival while taking the time to make sure we were settled in - this is an older home, with the quirkiness that tends to go along with it. The home was spotless, with freshly cleaned carpets and some nice touches - fresh cut flowers. Our group of 7 had plenty of space to spread out, although we spent quite a bit of time at the large kitchen table and, for a few of us, one late night cooking steaks over the backyard stone fire grill. This home was located close to the day trips we wanted to make, but off the beaten path providing solitude to unwind. If we had more time, I'm sure a few of the books (that seemed to be in every room) would have been well read. If this home pops up as an option, and you're looking for that 'farmhouse' experience or just a place to unplug - this it it.
