I have just spent a week at Mel's place in Observatory The accommodation was a quaint Victorian cottage tucked away behind the hosts accommodation, it was furnished in a warm old fashioned style. The bedroom was large with an impressive high ceiling and a large warm bed to rest your head. Mel was very approachable and informative but not obtrusive, this added to the already relaxed atmosphere. Mel and Ernest ran a very safe secure home which was fully explained when handing over the keys, one felt very secure indeed. Finally Mel is extremely keen on recycling water after recent droughts, I completely bought into the idea and it all made sense. If I were to be in the area in the future I wouldn't hesitate to contact Mel.
Regards Paul.
