About the host
Hosted by Neil and Jackie Mantell.
Neil is a former rugby player who once toured with England in Australia but is now reaping the reward of all those body crunching tackles. Jackie is a would be tennis star but who realises that at her age she has probably missed the boat! They both lived at Castle Cliffe with their family and ran it as a bed and breakfast for 13 years before converting their home to a holiday let in 2014.
