We had the pleasure of spending a week at Gun Hill Place. The location was perfect with an exceptional view, especially from the bath! All the beds were very comfortable and lots of thought had been put into the decor. The added bonus of private parking for 4 cars made life much easier. We cannot wait to visit again!
