At the guest house, each unit comes with a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free and soundproof. The units will provide guests with a wardrobe and a kettle. A loving family runs this place. You won’t find a more accommodating and truly kind host than Sonny - always eager to secure your comfort or solve any matters of concern. There’s Stewart clan here and the place is beautifully dressed in antique collections. Michael (Sr.) is the chef and makes tasty dinners & yummy breakfasts. Both breakfast and dining rooms are spacious with lovely views of the yard. And yes, I got my cream for coffee and cereal! The twin room was compact, clean and quiet after the local crows finished their morning chat. Selkirk and surroundings have a lot to offer sightseers. Beautiful country. Sonny, you are a special person and Michael, Sr., thank you for sharing stories and making us feel special with your and Sonny’s gifts. All the best to the entire family who work hard and keep the place running smoothly. Don’t forget your music! Until next time, yes?
