The host is highly discipline person, she cares about environment a lot.
The host reminded us to shorten shower time, better in 4 minuets. In order to save drinking water in UK. As a girl with long hair, it is very difficult to finish within 4 min. And I explained I usually take 20 min which shock the host a lot.
One of friend turn off the water when putting shampoo and shower gel to save water. But the host was very worry her water heater will be broken because our constant on and off. In fact, we just did that a few time during shower.
We arrived late in the first night, we took shower in 2 lot. When my friend was showing in the next morning, the host knocked our door when we were still sleeping and complaining we shower too much, waste a lot of water. Plus the water heater make lots of noise, it is better not to use at night.
About the water issue, we try our best to meet the host expectation, it just not work out.
Therefore, we suggest those who stay in the house to schedule their day short and return as early as possible.
The host did keep the place neat and tidy and have high standard about cleanness. When we ask for hot water for tea and other drinks, she reminded us we can use the dinning room so can keep the room clean. Clearly for those who care about cleanness and hygiene, we will find there a comfortable place for you.
Last, we all bring big luggage because we have 2-week stay in UK and very heavy. Since we have big luggage, we room become comparatively small. The host suggest us to bring smaller luggage next time, we do agree with her. The room is better suit traveller with small luggage. And if you have lots of luggage, better only stay 2 people, so you will feel more spacious.
We believe our situation it is more like a culture clash. And people with, native English speaking background, more familiar with Europe lifestyle and routine life, will have much better staying experiences than we did.

房東是一個嚴以待人和待己，關心環保議題的人。

房東有提醒洗澡要盡量縮短時間，要珍惜英國的食水，但對有一把長髮的女生來說，4~5分鐘完成洗澡和洗髮確實很有難度。我亦反映說洗澡和洗頭要20分鐘時間，但她表現得不可置信。我們其中一位朋友嘗試在使用沐浴露，洗髮水，護髮素期間關掉熱水爐，以減少用水量，但房東反映怕熱水爐會壞掉。在這議題上，我們確實感到有壓力，難以達成她的希望。
第一晚因火車問題，到達時已夜深，我們3人中有人選擇洗澡，有人選擇先睡並在第二天早上洗澡。在第二天早上朋友洗澡時，房東敲門跟我們說昨晚夜深時洗澡，早上又洗澡，要考慮用水和水壓等問題。另外是熱水爐在使用時會有聲響，是正常現象，但夜晚可能會吵到其他人，因此建議行程安排上，早些回屋子會比較好。
房東確實把地方打掃得一塵不染，對整潔有高度要求，因此請她提供熱水給我們拿回房間泡茶或沖泡其他飲料時，她會希望我們到dining room，以免弄髒房間。因此喜歡整潔房間的朋友，這房源你會感到舒服。
最後是因為我們在英國旅遊2星期，因此我們3人的行李箱是較大的(30吋)，而且重量較重。因3個行李體積較大，令到房間顯得相對狹小。為免房東受傷，我們都自行搬行李，臨走時，房東笑說下次應帶較小的行李箱。我同意她的說法，房間適合輕便行裝的朋友入住，如果行李較多，體積又大，2人入住會較好，空間感較多。
住宿期間雖然略有摩擦，但我相信這是文化差異，語言和溝通上的問題而引起。因此母語是英語，住在歐洲地區，生活較有規律的朋友應會有美好的體驗。
-----------------------------------------
房東是一個很正經的老師，他對入住客人的要求很高好很高，要早睡早起，洗澡的時間不能超過5分鐘，並且要節約用水，亦盡可能多次開關花灑，地板亦盡量不要弄濕，因為房東說廁所的地板是用木造的。進食只能夠在餐桌上進行，如果你需要熱水，他也會問你用來做什麼，因她擔心如果用熱水時，客人會弄污糟房間。
真是一個很特別的體驗喔！
可以形容為一個小學雞的任宿體驗。
