This stay was a real 'home from home' experience and we appreciated the warmth of welcome, especially being allowed to make our own breakfast and eat in the spacious dining room. On the first day Damien also made us cups of tea. If you prefer decaff, or herbal tea or maybe a coffee you should bring your own. We also tried one of the nearby independent coffee shops and found that very good. There is a health food store and 'green' shop adjacent to the house. These are also independent. It's the kind of ethos that feels comfortable and familiar.
