Great friendly service from the owner who even took the time to light the fire for us. Great range of board games and cards - considering it rained the whole time we were there they were a very welcome gesture. Free eggs were given to us fresh from the chooks which was also a lovely gesture. Highly recommended as a place to stay and by far one of the friendliest owners of accomodation we have had the pleasure of staying with. Dennis even made arrangements to have a bag that we left behind transported to a convenint place for us to collect. Rare service indeed. " "No improvements required - perfect as is."
