Response from the owner Hi there, so happy you enjoyed your stay! Just so you know, all the windows/doors that have suffered from the elements are being replaced in May & June. (And any floorboards that need it as well.) The house will look brand new come July! We've had such a busy season there has been no time to do it until now. (To me, everything else in in quite fine shape.) Do come back and see the results :D
