I stayed for 4 weeks and my experience was better than expected. For such a long period, the little things really matter. The hosts ensured a fully stocked kitchen including oil, dressings, spices, utilities, variety of cutlery, pots/pans etc and a proper desk to work at. I love animals so having the dogs and cat come to visit whenever they wanted to was a great bonus for me. There is a gate one can close to stop them if you want to. Noise, disturbances or privacy was never an issue from my end or the hosts'. The fan in the room sorts out any circulation issues especially with the door open. Overall, great value for the price. Thanks to Claire and her family for being such great hosts.
