“Theft!”
£60.49 was wrongfully charged to my card - the details were only given for payment of the room charge - without authorisation.

“I had a relaxed, worry free stay with everything I needed to hand.”
The staff are wonderful and very consistent of disability. The restaurant is excellent with a large menu and reasonable prices. The Indian food is especially good. The surroundings are stunning. There is a farmers market there one Saturday a month

“Peaceful and quiet”
If rustic and colonial is what you want, this is the place for you. It is safe, secure and very quiet - so ideal for those persons who need to do a bit of work. The restaurant caters to all types of taste buds and there is definitely something in the menu for vegetarians, pasta fanatics, and meat lovers. Even kids will have no problem selecting something from the menu. There is a pool as well as great walking trails so you can count on having some exercise while here.
