“The Very Best Place to Stay in Russell”

Reviewed 20 June 2012

We are always thrilled when guests come to stay for a second visit, it lets us know that we are doing something right, so thank you for becoming repeat guests and for the great review. We must say it is amazing how you sometimes just "click" with guests and that you do become good friends is such a short time. More
