This is an absolutely beautiful property and the hosts were gracious and lovely. Our room was small, but guests have access to many beautifully furnished rooms in the house along with extensive and beautiful grounds. Breakfast was delicious and served at a large dining room table so guests could visit with one another in the morning. A lovely stay, and very close to the airport.
