Helen and James were great hosts. They were available, friendly and welcoming when I had questions to ask about directions and arrival; they were there to let me in, welcome me, show me around, explain facilities, offer recommendations on places to eat etc., and were perfectly happy when I said I preferred to stay in in the evenings. This welcoming attitude continued throughout my stay, during which I was either out on business during the day or chose to be in my lovely warm, quiet room and deliciously comfy bed which I didn't want to get out of in the mornings! The venue I was attending was, as Helen had advised, within easy walking distance and I got it down to just 5 minutes through short cuts . The area felt safe for me, a woman by herself, and I felt comfortable returning there after dark as with the time change it was dark by 5pm. Thank you Helen and James for a lovely stay.
