Catherine greeted me with a pot of tea and a small plate full of cookies. She told me about a number of interesting local places, including one that I couldn't find on Google when I looked later. She also has an impressive collection of books by locals about the region which can be perused in the very comfortable sitting room. During my stay she was polite, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. The house and space itself was neat and tidy without sacrificing a sense of coziness. All in all, a very nice place to stay and I can't recommend it enough!
