My wife and I spent a week at Claire & Alan's while we were visiting Kingston for my sister's wedding. They were the perfect hosts, and as we hail from the same part of the world as Claire, enjoyed our conversations with her and Alan on various topics during breakfast. Location was great, right in front of Canbury Park and only 10 mins leisurely walk to the Kingston shopping area. Do try the Boater's Inn on Canbury Park as well - nice place by the river to relax and dine. And as mentioned by another reviewer - waking up to the sound of chirping birds was simply awesome! Our room was also very spacious, which was great as we had lots of costumes to change into for the wedding!
We really felt at home - thanks for your superb hospitality Claire and Alan!
