    We were very happy with our stay at Nethermain House. Margaret was a delightful hostess, and was very welcoming. She went above and beyond for all her guests. We had delicious homemade cake delivered to our room each afternoon when we arrived...

    Margaret was a wonderful host. She was very safety conscious and even took our COVID tests to the post office for us. A wonderful host and property!
