The Haven House is a little Gem. Very clean, very comfortable and very homely. The proprietors Alistair & Mel are second to none. The perfect hosts, true gentleman. They couldn’t do enough for you. Nothing was too much trouble. I/ we would highly recommend this place and we wouldn’t stop anywhere else. A big heartfelt thank you to both of you. Steve Sanderson
