Joan and Alan’s place is just lovely - tucked high on a hill in lovely gardens up some steep little steps, I am not super fit and it was fine for me, but if you have mobility problems it might be more difficult - it feels a though you are staying in a treehouse, which I mean in a really good way!
The room was very comfortable and cosy, just as described. It and the bathroom (which was for sole use of guests) were spotlessly clean. This is such an interesting house.
Breakfast was just what was needed, very nice and with thoughtful touches.
Joan and Alan themselves couldn’t have been more welcoming, we had a lovely chat and then left me to my own devices - perfect blend of hosting and privacy.
The cherry on the icing on the cake was that Joan suggested a alternate route, via Plimmerton, for me to take at the start of my drive north. So glad she did - had a lovely walk along the seafront which set me up nicely for the day ahead.
Would not hesitate to recommend a stay here, I’ll definitely be back if again in the area.
