“Thank you, thank you, thank you for your incredibly hospitality over the weekend. We had a really wonderful time laughing and playing on your incredible property and that was in no small part due to the kindness and patience of your lovely staff. I had some lovely conversations with some of them and everyone was kind, pleasant, and accommodating. And the food was delicious! We hope to see you again soon!”
