October 2005 - 19 December 2007 (Yes he stayed that long)
Having stayed here for a long duration of 2 years I can honestly say this is
the best Bed & Breakfast I have stayed in, and boy is this a good
endorsement I can assure you. I could be labeled as a bit of a connoisseur in
the hotelier business.
Gordon & Viv's hospitality is second to none. The rooms are always clean
and fresh and invitingly comforting after a hard days work. Viv's cooked
breakfast is the best in the area and evening time is tranquil and quiet
ensuring a good nights sleep is guaranteed. Best
Regards
Bob
