Sincerely Marg and Dave
Marg welcomed us (my parents & myself) & showed us how everything worked. House & garden beautifully maintained. We had a choice of 3 different types of pillow plus use of bathrobes. There were complimentary wine, beer, cider, soft drinks, chips & fruchocs. The coffee machine was full of beans & very easy to use..Beds were comfortable. Lovely quiet neighbourhood. Shower has a safety rail to hang onto which was great for my older parents.
Appreciated the late check out!
Only difficulty came when pressing Start on dishwasher. Had to press a few times before it worked but it did work each time it was used.
Lovely views. Highly recommend.
