Lovely location, really comfortable place and such good size rooms. And all the facilities that you would ever need! Carolyn and George are so accommodating and lovely and friendly. Waking up each morning to the calls of the gibbons in the nearby Thringby zoo is amazing. Our third visit and we plan to visit again.
