"Thanks Leslie and Fred for your warm hospitality and great food and wine last weekend. We were particularly pleased that you made our 12yr old son feel welcome too. We had 2 fantastic breakfasts and 2 sumptuous dinners - the steak was high quality and absolute perfection and our fireside seating much appreciated."

"A huge thank you to Leslye and Fred for their warm welcome, wonderful food and all the little extra touches that make this such a great special to stay. We had such a good time, and even though it was just one night it felt like we had been pampered away from the stress of the real world and transported to our idea of nirvana (great food, good wine and a spa bath for 2!) We hope to make it back one day but if not then it is certainly a place that will be highly recommended to all of our friends."
