    The place is very charming and John was a nice host, giving advice, making pleasant conversation and very helpful. Room was cosy and very bright, nice shower and very comfy bed. Very easy for parking and with bus stop just front of the house....

    The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. The Sandilands is situated on a long road which leads into town with a very close bus stop.
