Rob
Everything we needed was there, everything was clean and tidy too. The welcome tray was a lovely touch and the hot tub, oh my goodness the hot tub was maaaarrrvellous. Paul knocked the door to introduce himself and answer any questions we may have had on the first evening but that was the last we saw of him. We could contact him should we have needed him but never did. It was quiet, peaceful and utterly wonderful. In the words of the poet and wise man Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'I'll be back'
