"Great house, beautifully decorated with everything you could need for a great getaway. Lots of stairs though being across 4 floors so not for those less mobile which was fine for us. House has high ceilings throughout other than the basement kitchen/diner (which is beautiful) but my 6ft4 sons head touched the ceiling which we laughed about! Beds are really comfortable and better quality than we have ever had in a rental. Lots of lovely extra touches like tea, coffee, cereal, washing products...
