    Try this off-grid, quiet steamer for peace and quiet, watch the swans and the pelicans swim by. The only noises are the wind and the birds and you have the place all to yourself. In spite of being off-grid, you have all you could wish for.

    The tranquility, the location, the character and history of the property. It was also clean, and everything needed was there. Some lovely finishing touches too.

    Watching the wildlife in a cosy comfortable environment was just what the Dr ordered. Would not hesitate to return.
