    “Beautiful retreat away from all the ...”
    Beautiful retreat away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life. Great location out in the middle of nowhere. The house is wonderfully refurbished with the original walls creating a real cosy setting. Would definitely recommend here for a quite get away.
