This was my first break away since the loss of my beloved husband, Ray. We have revisited places which held special memories, which has been wonderful. More importantly, we have had an opportunity to create more special memories in this beautiful house. My 5 daughters and I have explored the beautiful area, played games and laughed so much during these past few days, which has been such a tonic for us all. The house is like home from home! So comfortable and everything to such a high standard. You have put so much love and thought into everything. Tank you so so much.
