We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights with Pat and Russ. They could not have made us more welcome and the view from our very comfortable room was spectacular. Although the hot tub was fun the real highlight was sitting with them over a G&T and swapping stories about places we all knew. I would not hesitate in recommending a stay... More

We stayed with Russ and Pat in late November. We had a splendid time. They really care about making you feel welcome and are so generous.
