Testimonials 2015-2016

2015/ 2016 Season

Wow - we are already into our 2016/17 season. Some lovely pics of our Chinese friends who spent two nights with us recently. Not only did they get to experience some local food, they also got to feed the lambs and the girls enjoyed playing with our little dog Scruff.

Spacious, comfortable architecturally designed accommodation in a separate wing from the main house. Wonderful fish dinner with our gracious hosts,
Peter & Sheryl. A wonderful B & B.

Sheryl and her family were kind enough to open their home to us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Her husband Pete spent half his Christmas Eve day with us giving us the tour of their area, spotting about a dozen wild deer, and fishing in a nearby river. They had a nice continental breakfast and home brewed coffee waiting for us when we woke up both mornings. We spent time feeding the deer they raise on their property and got some awesome pictures with their sheep. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. They both had heaters, heated towel racks, and the beds were SO comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
