Helen is a very experienced host and it showed. I was travelling with my mother and two teenage boys, both of which can be shy and aloof, and she had them all laughing, enjoying a home cooked cake and taking part in her banter within a matter of minutes after we arrived. Her house is spotlessly clean and I spent my time with her laughing and enjoying the banter - just like my boys did. It goes without saying that such an experienced host would provide a wonderful home cooked breakfast - complete with what I would consider an appropriate amount of butter on my toast! It was a delight to visit the region and Helen made it an even more terrific experience.
