Alan and Linda's place is a great option and very good value. I was made very welcome and comfortable throughout my three day stay.
The spacious home is excellent and the private guest area is very good.
Also, I found Alstonville village a very pleasant surprise. It is a lovely and peaceful place, with half a dozen excellent cafes offering great choices of indoor or outdoor seating. The supermarket and specialty shops are tucked away but also tastefully laid out.
The entire region is delightful countryside.
