Great place to stay when visiting family

I stayed at the Oar House to visit my family. It was a perfect location for me to work remotely peacefully and also spend time with my family. My parents stayed one night and it was the perfect "hang out".

Family Reunion

Lovely place to relax/enjoy nature and it was close enough to my husband's home town that we were able to see all of our family while in town. Overall would highly recommend and plan to stay here again in the future.
