Amel is a very lovely friendly lady who tries to ensure that her guests are happy in her home.
Communication beforehand was good and I have an approximate arrival time of 6pm.
Having driven well over 200 miles I messaged ahead to say it would be nearer 8pm.
I chose Amel's home as it clearly stated that the garden was for guests' use...and 2 of the 7 photos showed a lovely garden.
I was so tired all I wanted was to sit out in the fresh air and relax after being stuck in the car for most of the day.
Asking to show me the way out to the garden, Dave shouted through the patio doors that I couldn't use the table and chair, then I wasn't to use the bench a third of the way down, because of privacy issues for them to eat their evening meal in the dining room at the back of the house
I could however go to a dark dismal spot right down the bottom, on a rickety looking picnic bench which I was unable to use as I have painful joints
I was made to feel as though I was asking for something that wasn't in the listing ...and after such a tiring day I wished I'd gone elsewhere.
Amel and I had a conversation the following morning about this and I suggested she clearly states that the garden is out of use when they are using their dining room...her reply was that I should mention it in my feedback.
This issue very probably won't bother the majority of people who stay at Amel's. .but it did spoil my time there as I had read and re read the listing to make sure it suited me.
There is one bath/shower room shared between Amel/Dave and up to 3 other guest rooms.
Amel also provides toast and jams for breakfast in the guests dining/sitting room and there is a small fridge in the kitchen where you can store a few items.
