Cute and quirky hacienda

This place is so cool and really well-equipped for a group stay. We had a great weekend, basing ourselves in Preston to explore the surrounding suburbs. I could’ve happily spent a rainy weekend indoors enjoying the quirky mud bricks, modern facilities, thoughtful inclusions and well equipped kitchen. Thanks for your great hosting and easy check-in process.
