I couldn't have wished for a nicer place to stay than with Joanne. I was made welcome instantly and the warmth and tranquility of the house had quite a profound effect on me! Having arrived from London after an exhausting 7-hour drive, I was pretty wired and wide-eyed, but just a few minutes in Joanne's company and in the surroundings of her beautiful house managed to put me at ease.

Not only was Joanne a wonderful host in every way, she also lovely to talk to and introduced me to her other guest who happened to be someone I might now be able to work with!

If ever I go back to Bristol, this will be my first stop! Thank you, Jo. xx
