The host was friendly and explained everything to me. The property was cleaned to a very good standard. Check in and check out was very easy. Room had complimentary tea and coffee which was just what I needed when I returned from my hike and long drive back to the George. There are a number restaurants and fast foods around as well as a Coop food just across the road
