Catherine was very friendly and welcoming, and made me feel right at home. The bed is as advertised - very comfortable. The bedroom itself is very small, and if you travel with a lot of stuff (as I did, this being the end of a 5-week road trip), fitting everything in can be challenging, but it's doable. And you have the rest of the very nice house to hang out in. The bright, sunny conservatory with beautiful views of the surrounding hills was a highlight. The neighbourhood is quiet, and it's enjoyable to walk around the hills. If you're lucky, you might get to hear Catherine practicing the piano, too!
