Extracts from Visitors' Book, continued 2:
*** 'The house and the views were just everything we had hoped for, the arrangements perfect and Betty just as helpful and as good an occasional cook as could be.
The weather was mixed, but for the first time I can remember, I was almost hoping for one day completely written off by wind and rain so we could just enjoy the house, the fire and the books.
We'd love to come again- maybe with more friends and family!' [Norwich, England].
*** 'Seven painters from Finland arrived to this lovely place; fell in love with God's view, cosy cottages, the fireplace and sheep...' [Finland]
