We loved the location (so close to our son and his family) and the size of the room at Jo's house. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the sofa very comfy too. Provisions in the kitchen were great and having the brand-new washing machine and dryer a huge plus for us.
The downside was the steps up to the bathroom - I have arthritis and my mobility is limited and this was quite a big challenge - I conquered them in the end but a pretty tough climb!!
The lack of parking close to the house was another problem for me - again due to my lack of mobility. We often had to park way down the road when coming in after dark. I did take my walking stick, which helped and once we were inside it was magic. We loved seeing Arlo, the dog most days - he was very friendly.
We met Jo's husband Steve who was very helpful and friendly but didn't see Jo during our stay - we hope she liked the chocolates we gave her.
