The check in was easy and communication was very good. If I have one criticism it is that the on line photos don't do the place justice, we were very happy as soon as we walked through the door. Plenty of cutlery and cooking utensils. Lovely walks nearby and the sports/social club just up the road were very friendly and accommodating, we had a couple of very strange roo infested fairways rounds of golf and drinks afterwards. All in all a lovely place to stay both in the way of location and accommodation. Jeff and Deb Warren.
