Awesome historical building that is very peaceful and homely. Close to town and Sanctuary Mountain. Hosts provided fresh home-made bread, eggs also butter, milk, tea coffee and spreads. Nice smelling shampoo and bodywash. Everything you need in home, including a washing machine. The home is warm.and cosy and interesting. Lovely rural setting with a lovely garden. Highly recommend.
