Gill gave me a warm welcome; showed me my room and the rest of the house, then we sat on her delightful back terrace with a drink to chat. The whole house is immaculate and charming; the guest room is lovely with a very comfortable bed, plenty of storage room for clothes and other items, electrical sockets in all the right places...Breakfast of fresh fruit, yoghurt and muesli was also perfect for me.

Because the house is in a dead-end street, it is a quiet neighborhood, yet close to shops, cafés and restaurants. Gill was very helpful in providing me with information on local amenities and we also enjoyed a couple of brisk walks together during my stay; so I didn't have to keep checking the map! On more than one occasion she also very kindly gave me a lift to save me time walking to the home of family members of mine who live nearby.

Sharing her bathroom wasn't a problem for me as Gill is very organized and discreet. The problem I did have was with the bedroom being too light for me; the window over the bed has no curtains and it was full moon during my stay! Gill offered to remedy this, however I said it could wait as I borrowed an eye-mask from my sister-in-law.

Altogether a lovely stay; thank you Gill!
