Bernie is a fantastic host. She is very prompt with her responses to queries. She has a lock box so you can gain access when she is not there, so it means that you are not tied down to arriving at a particular time. Bernie's home is lovely and comfortable and very welcoming. The place is spotlessly clean and has tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms and there is a range of cereals, fruit, yogurt and juice available for breakfast for whoever would like to have breakfast. When I arrived back after my walk, Bernie had the fire lighting in the guest sitting room. Honestly, this place is better than a hotel and it is in a beautiful location. I haven't stopped telling people about it!!!
