Summary: This beautiful home lived up to and beyond expectations. Spacious and comfortable with lots of space to relax inside and out it felt like staying with the most hospitable friends. We were a multi age ( 3 generations) family and despite the beautiful furnishings we weren’t constantly on vigil and the stay was without incident. The kitchen was well equipped so meals were a pleasure to prepare for both British and Korean guests. All the facilities of Ganges were just a short walk away so we enjoyed no driving days lounging in the garden and on the beach We had a great few days - thank you Michael
