Feedback
"I have to say that the food was just perfect for me. I have terrible digestion and suffer chronic heartburn but there is none of that with your tasty and interesting healthy food Lyn. No bread is always good for me too. Your food is very satisfying. I always feel totally cleansed from no alcohol or meat, that I do not miss at all, for an entire weekend...just marvellous. I simply can't contemplate not having this special weekend in my life. Springbrook is just so special and that is because of you Lyn...you make it that way. Please know you make a difference in a lot of people's lives. "
