The hosts made us feel very welcome, and the description provided was as described. The hosts provided a loaf of tasty homemade bread, butter, milk and eggs. They also had helpful suggestions regarding activities and sites to visit.

We loved the island (Mayne) and its diversity (beautiful coastline, organic agriculture, pastures, woodlands, and forests) and the people could not have been more friendly. There is a fantastic farm store / interesting deli nearby the cob house. However, if someone wants to do a lot of shopping for non-essential touristy stuff, this is not the island to visit.

Alexis and Manny were charming and emotionally open hosts with two four year old boys. These children are being raised in an environment of friendly free-range sheep, chickens, rabbits, pastures, apple trees etc. Alexis knits much of their clothing. I do not think life can get much better.

The house has handcrafted charm and looks like a hobbit house, it is a bit unreal. I worked on a cob house in another country several years ago, but I have never stayed in one before. It was an experience that we will not forgot. We would encourage anyone with an open mind to stay in this home.
