We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house with an exceptionally thoughtful, practical, helpful, communicative and well-organised host, Claire. Over a lovely pot of tea when we arrived, Claire established what we planned on doing and was generous with good suggestions for making the most of the area. Her well-stocked and spotless bathroom was not ensuite but was very accessible and inviting. As we are lactose- and wheat-intolerant, she had provided both soya and almond milk and gluten-free crackers. When we were packing up our many gorgeous plants bought at the Hampton Court Palace flower show, she produced a cardboard tube to protect an especially delicate plant, allowed us to knock off excess compost to lighten the weight of the inexpensive suitcase purchased, at her recommendation, in nearby Primark and we were decidedly inspired by her experiences as an allotment owner. Thank you, Claire, for the time you took to chat with us and put us at our ease, you are a superb hostess!!
