Many thanks to Pat and Bruce for the warm welcome to their unique accommodation. They really are great hosts, and their hand-made mud brick-and-wood loft is an extension of their warmth and care. The loft is a beautiful space set in a lovely private garden that is amply furnished with all you need for your stay.

It was a pleasure to wake up to natural light filtering through the leadlight windows, gentle bird sounds and the beautiful trees out every window and door. In fact, the combination of light, trees and breeze gives the loft an airy spaciousness that 'brings the outside in', making you forget this is a loft. In fact, my partner and I started referring to it as 'the treehouse'!

A kitchenette downstairs was handy even if we didn't really get to use it, and the bathroom is a private, spacious room with great fittings and more beautiful leadlighting.

It's hard to convey the joy we got from staying at Pat and Bruce's garden 'treehouse'. Our time was short but very sweet, and our memory will stay fresh until the next time we get to come this way and stay again!
