Thank you so much Sandy, we have had a lovely time. The house is beautiful. The bedroom & bathroom were amazing. Such luxury for two weary cyclists. Excellent breakfast and thank you for catering to our special dairy free diet. Very much appreciated all your kindness Sandy. Sorry we didn’t get to meet you John. Next time?
