The house was quiet and charming, with ample space devoted to the common areas and decorated with unusual features reflecting the host’s wide ranging and eclectic tastes, with ample reading material and books on art to browse through. The kitchen, shared with the family, had access to a garden with chickens, a vegetable garden and beautiful flowering bushes and trees. Susan was a wonderful host, friendly and attentive but not intrusive. She gave us tips on local areas of interest, and provided delicious and often home made treats for breakfast. We would stay there again!
