Perhaps our experience was unique, but neither the description nor the other reviews prepared us for the richness of our stay. The accommodations were comfortable, location delightful, and communications clear. The large house is surrounded by beautiful gardens, and set on a large farm. But what made our stay special was the warmth of the host family. They welcomed us graciously, offered tea, and we ended up visiting well into the evening (and continued the following day). Kathy and her husband both treated us as friends, and not just as transient renters, and it made for an exceptional visit. We can't recommend them highly enough.
