Springmead B&B

We have just left Springmead after a 4 night stay. This was a very different sort of stay than the typical chain hotel in a city that people may opt for. Instead, it’s a unique property, in a rural area, run by wonderful people and is very special indeed. When you arrive you are struck by the setting- the peace, the wildlife and views to die for. Stress melts away, and if you want to sit and look at the views all day, then that’s absolutely fine! Our room was comfortable and very homely, with a 4 poster bed and a private bathroom (over the hall). Each morning we were served a delicious continental breakfast by Marjory (being vegetarian wasn’t a problem!) and we even had to take the muffins away for a morning snack as there was ample food! We went off exploring the area each day but my favourite time was coming back to just spend time in the haven of the garden. The wildlife is wonderful- a multitude of birds visit the garden, and if you get up early enough you can see kangaroos down the lane. A highlight for us was meeting Uno, the local wombat that Marjory has been taking care of recently. We are very sad to have left, and are about to head back to the U.K. in a few days, but this little slice of heaven will remain as one of the main highlights of our 5 week trip,
