"Stunning views, lovely big house and very clean. Only downside was some beds were very hard and the toilet upstairs can be heard from the master bedroom. But that is totally offset by the rest offered and the heaters (both radiators and electric blankets) are phenomenal and leave you more than toasty. Overall a great place to stay :-)"
