Alan was a gracious host, made us feel welcome like family. We chose his place because we were able to cook our own dinner (he even let us use his array of seasonings and spices). He dried some of our wet towels for us and was great company. Electric blanket on bed and heater in room. Perfectly clean bathroom. Alan also prepared a very nice continental breakfast (toasts, fruits, cereal, yogurt, coffee, tea and juice!) We also had a basket of candies, trail mix, and water at our bedside. Excellent WiFi, we were able to watch a movie on Netflix. Great place after a day of wine tasting in Nelson!
