"I stayed at Diamond Hill Country House four days mid October and couldn't have been more pleased. We were warmly welcomed by Benny. He graciously 'taxied' us to town more than once, gave us information on the sights of the surrounding area and helped us book the last leg of our trip. The best tip being the local pub at the end of the street. Would have to say it put this spot at the top of my enjoyment list. Thanks again Benny, Linda Michigan, USA "
