Good place to start a trip to the Gambia especially if you like birdwatching. Comfortable bungalow, lovely gardens and swimming pool and bar. Breakfast on the front terrace every morning was a delight. Great to place relax and unwind. Food was good - we ate at The Captain's Table every night!! If you're looking for a bird guide, find The Professor on the bridge - he's amazing!!
