John, Thanks for the review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. For some reason I gave you a 4* review of “House rules”. This was a result of my incorrect use of the keyboard and in no way reflects on you and your stay here. I apologise for this error and hope to welcome you here again. Regards, Nigel
