Don't think twice - just book it. You won't regret

This time I stayed at the Cheese House. I also had a chance to see the rest of the entire property. It is a beautiful wedding venue with absolutely stunning view at the Limpert Bay. Every apartament tells a different story and has been design in a very thoughtful way. The Host/Lady of the Manor is absolutely delightful.

Lovely accommodation, helpful staff

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to return again one day. The accommodation was lovely and the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. A special thank you to Wendy for making us feel so welcome. Most definitely a place that we would highly recommend.
