I think I need to start with the wow factor on this place ... the photos from the outside don't do it justice as we just gasped when we saw it. The inside was just as good - I think we spent the first 30 minutes just exploring round the house.

We had one issue with a blocked toilet, but a call to Sharron had that resolved in less than 10 minutes.

Our itinerary meant that we were out and about for almost the entire time during our stay so we didn't get the chance to make use of the kitchen and almost felt slightly guilty that there was so much food available for use to use and that we wouldn't have the chance to add to it.

Hopefully next year we'll be back in Portland and if so this will be the first place we would want to stay. I really can't praise Sharron enough for the accommodation and the hospitality.
