Very nice. Great, but unfortunately sound travels, so it was a little noisy early in the morning.

Wonderful. I loved my stay, Gail was so helpful and showed me John Bauer's art collection, which I really appreciated. It was an absolute treat to see...

Comfortable. Nice, yes, just the steps at the room door inconvenient for older people. Maybe add a recommendation and lighting in the front garden.
