Staying with Simon was a unique pleasure. He greeted us with a warm welcome and a fascinating description of his historic home. After showing us to our spacious room he invited us to join him for wine in front of a cozy fire in the living room. His knowledge of local history is extensive and, even though we had an early flight, we stayed up talking for quite a while. He was very kind to get up early and prepare breakfast. We would have enjoyed spending much more time with Simon and highly recommend him as a host.
