good sorts
Reliable, kind folks
Good sorts are decent, likable people—the kind you'd want as neighbors or friends.
The phrase is most common in British, Australian, and New Zealand English: Her parents turned out to be good sorts.
A good sort is reliable and unpretentious, someone who doesn't put on airs or cause trouble.
