Tracy 10.0

It was perfectly located. The property itself was gorgeous from first walking in. Friendly hosts. The whole guest house was decorated with movie theme posters. The little quirky touches like the draw handles, lamps etc were great. The bed was comfortable and the little bag of sweets and biscuits were a nice touch. Breakfasts were amazing. Great choice of food too.
