Second time staying here, had a great time last time and enjoyed it even more this time round.
Bernie was great, took us down to feed the camels and was very accommodating in all aspects. Our 2yo had a ball over the weekend, room was as described, supplied breakfast was ample!
We will be back again!

The River Room was in a peaceful rural setting and was cosy accommodation for a single night for a couple. It would also be suitable for a couple with two children. The comfortable couch and spacious room was welcome.
