We showed up when Joan had stepped out, but she had our room ready and left a note for us on how to find it. When we returned from dinner, she was there and greeted us enthusiastically and showed us the ins and outs of the room.

We loved having a room big enough for the four of us (2 kids + 2 adults), and my children enjoyed not having to share a bed with each other. The temperature was perfect.

I should also point out that my kids played on her trampoline twice and had a blast until their feet got too cold to play. In fact, they would have stayed there all day playing had it not been for our tight travel schedule that day.

I would have no hesitations for staying at her place again. Also, read the directions on how to get to her place, they are perfect. We had no troubles and never bothered to try to punch it into the sat nav system.
