This Guildford home is set in the woods with spectacular views from all the large windows in every room. The hosts met us on arrival to explain various things and answer our questions. It was clean throughout and the beds were very comfortable. Guildford is an historic New England town with many nearby attractions including beaches. We enjoyed our stay.
