Marks place is just awesome! It would be quite a trek to town without a car, but we never had to worry about that because Mark always offered to take us into town and pick us up when he was able. He’s an extremely kind host and always goes above and beyond to make his guests happy and comfortable. The house is so beautiful and a little piece of history itself. The room we stayed in was spacious and there was even heating blankets to keep off the cold. The kitchen was cosy and had everything we could need - Mark even keeps a cupboard of food that’s free for the guests to use. Nosey, Charlie, and Willow (the doggies) are very well behaved and sweet. Overall I loved staying here and would gladly do so again!
