Everything was excellent. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The room was spacious and had everything we could possibly need. Lots of little extras like;, home made cookies, a bowl of sweets & even some suntan lotion. The bod was extremely comfortable. Home made cake was available every afternoon. There was a good choice for breakfast, hot & cold, all we tried was freshly mage and tasty. The coffee was excellent. Our hosts had lots of local knowledge as well as about the surrounding area. Lots of recommendations for places to eat, drink & visit.
