On the one hand, here's where I worry about scoring an own-goal. If I give an honest account of my stay with Shane (Lea was away) I run the risk of their wonderful house and garden, and hot tub, and location, and amazing host, being totally booked out and I'll have trouble making another reservation. On the other hand I must do the hosts and house justice by saying; WOW! My stay was everything and more than I expected. Shane is a wonderful and attentive host, helpful with household tips and local knowledge. From the quiet country pubs with authentic West Coast atmosphere and hearty meals, to the local mechanic who, when Shane's name was mentioned was most obliging. I found Shane easy to chat with and enjoyed his company, our shared love of classic cars has seen us become mates. This was a very good encounter and hospitable stay. Well done Shane, thank you.
