Fabulous; would recommend it.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. Our room was big and comfortable, (we had a twin room, with private bathroom/toilet). The lovely breakfast and dinner was prepared by Theophelia. Very welcoming and warm. We loved it. Part of a fantastic initiative supporting the local community. A few miles outside of Jinja, but worth it for those who want a peaceful stay and experience Ugandan hospitality.

Cons:

Nothing

Beautiful! Oasis of rest after long days.
Pros:

Breakfast was wonderful every single day. They accommodated our need for breakfast earlier in the morning than their normal service time. We had something slightly different every morning with beautiful fresh fruit and fresh pressed juice.

Dinners were wonderful, we had so many variations of chicken or beef that were just exceptional every time.

Cons:

I think the only thing I would have liked is clearer directions. Unfortunately, Google Maps takes you to the back end of the property. you have to keep driving and trust you'll find the right road or a kind stranger like we did. Once we found someone to help, it was easy to find our way, but I suggest maybe an extra sign or 2 to help first-time guests.
