We stayed for a 3 night celebration for my husband's 40th birthday with a group of friends and their family's. The house is a home with everything you could possibly ask for, from the quality bedding and towels that are Sheridan brand!!! We have already decided to come back in the summer time!!! The hosts are wonderful and so easy to communicate with thank you Lucy and Graham for having us. And a big thank you for the special birthday cake you left for hubby in the fridge, what a lovely gesture. We will see you soon!! ##### Nicole W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019
