We stayed a night 4 years ago before a flight from Stanstead. We were made to feel so welcome then that we had little choice but to book again this time, and were made to feel like old friends again by Maxine and Paul (and the dog Sophie). …

This is the first time I went on vacation, and literally did not want to go back home or to work. Paul and Maxine are the most welcoming people I've met. Accommodations were superb. I will be back. Ty
