Where to begin…. Myself and my partner stayed with Katherine and her wonderful family in August for two nights. We were on a little get away from London, and I can honestly say that our only disappointment was that we didn’t book for longer. Firstly, Katherine is such a wonderful host, as is her partner Konrad. From the minute, we stepped on to the property we were so well taken care of. The room is so tastefully decorated, supplied with all the usual necessities, along with some lovely unexpected treats such as Jo Malone body creams, and an espresso machine…which we very much appreciated being avid coffee drinkers. The bedding and towels were freshly laundered, and of great quality. The room was spotless, and Katherine was kind enough to freshen up the room on the second day. The room overlooks the garden, which is such a wonderful treat. We slept with the curtains open both nights, so that we could wake up with the sun and take in the view first thing, it was just gorgeous. To top it off we had access to a huge sitting / dining room, which features wall length glass sliding doors out on to Usher gardens. One of the evenings we enjoyed wine and cheese here at our leisure, which was so lovely. We also were treated to breakfast in this room both mornings. The spread given is of that of a 5 * hotel. Fruit, cereal, home-made scones, eggs and smoked salmon, all served alongside freshly squeezed orange juice. Nothing is too great a request for Katherine and her family, they truly wish you to enjoy your stay and feel at home. We had such a blissful holiday, and hugged goodbye as we left. We are already planning our next visit. Oh, and how could I possibly forget that this amazing bnb is situated in one of the most breath-taking gardens, Mount Usher gardens. We explored the gardens at length both in the height of a down-pour and in the morning sun, both times it was equally enjoyable. Whilst staying in the bnb we had private access to the gardens, which is just the cherry on top. Thank you again for having us, we so look forward to returning. Warm wishes, Steph & Jack.
