If like me, you find yourself searching for a small private hidey-hole or time away from the usual home-life distraction, Shirley's place ticks more boxes than I can carry! Shirley is such a thoughtful and attentive host, and has a certain warmth about her before you even meet. It is clear to me that she likes providing a good service or helping people out and what more could you ask from an AirBnB host? I started off by saying small private hidey-hole, please don't let that conjure up a picture of bijou; far from it. It is a two storey, two bedroomed, carpeted townhouse with a bonus washing machine and cloakroom downstairs and a well laid out bathroom as an ensuite upstairs. A clean, tidy and heavenly scented well positioned home that would suit a short term break for one or two, or perhaps even a lengthier stay for those that need more of a base. Don't worry if you turn up without your favourite snacks or quick carb indulgence, Shirley has it covered. She had provided me with fresh milk, crumpets, bananas, sliced bread and the option to nibble my way through anything I liked in the 'fridge. Not that I want to share, just in case it was for my visit only - (ha!) but there were chocolates there which seemed rather lovely to munch on part way through a Friday evening whilst doing some research. I couldn't fault Shirley's home or her attentiveness and promptness with my questions and booking. It is in a great spot, a stroll away from some lovely coffee shops I am sure and has the chance to saunter down to the river. All of which I failed to do as I had only booked here to complete some studies. But next time. Yes, there probably will be one. Thanks, Shirley. If you want those photos I took of your lovely home, just let me know. Pleasure meeting you. Tanya
