If I had to choose two words to describe Frances' home, they would be Elegant and Classy!
Firstly - the house itself is so incredibly charming and beautifully kept. The eclectic style decor is more than worthy of being in one of Frances' beautiful design books that are plentiful in the stunning sitting room. The home is kitted out with absolutely everything you might need and it's all such lovely quality - from the towels, bedding and throw cushions to the pots, oven and water pressure! My kids tell me I NEED to source out the supplied body wash as it smells sooo good! (I didn't think 14yo kids would notice these things!). The beds are very comfortable and the house is quiet and dark at night - a great combinations for a perfect nights' sleep. In the day the house is lovely and bright and I see something new every time I walk into a room.
The garden is so pretty with a stunning mature Japanese Maple and plenty of comfy seating to soak up the morning sun with a cuppa.
Secondly - the location is wonderful! I didn't know the area at all, I chose it as it was close to one of my twins sporting events. It was a golden find. The street is quiet and quite beautiful. Its a very short walk to the cutest village-style Main Street with beautiful cafes/restaurants and boutiques. Keep on walking and you reach the river - so very pretty and perfect spot for my hubby to run. Its a 6 min drive to Eastern Beach and 25 mins to Torquay.
You can probably tell we really loved Frances' home! We will definitely stay again on the next sporting event and we are so grateful that she has opened her home up to all of us Airbnbers!
Thank you Frances! xx
