Friendly and responsive host. The house was very clean with a huge and well equipped kitchen and a nice patio/garden. Lots of interesting art on the walls etc - gave the feeling of staying in a family home rather than a bland hotel! The cat was very friendly too but did its own thing so not a lot of work. Thoughtfully provided heaters in case we got cold. And the off-road parking was very useful.
Host was very flexible on checkout times as well, which was great as we didn't have to get up early on boxing day.
