Interaction with guest

We are available and happy to help in any way we can but how much contact with us is dictated by our guests. We provide plenty of suggestions and information for entertainment in the accommodation and we prefer to have information about our guests prior to arrival to help us tailor what we offer to their needs - examples are pool toys and children's DVDs and things like interest in local WW2 Resistance activities.
