Lyn & Gavin were the most welcoming and outgoing hosts we could imagine! We felt instantly home when we arrived, Lyn showed us around and explained everything in detail, the room we had was tastefully decorated and allowed a magnificent view into their superbly arranged and maintained garden. This one alone is worth mentioning, we thought it was amazing what Gavin had developped from a typical English backdoor strech of property. We were allowed to use it for relaxing which we did once. Since we were out of the house during the day we didin't miss the (non present) TV. In the superb kitchen of theirs IS a TV, we ciould have used it but as I said, we didn't need it really. One evening Lyn even retreated with some household chores int her provate rooms and let us use their TV-lounge which we found very kind. The beds were comfortable for me, Heike found them a bit hard, but that is definitely better than to sink into a too soft foam of a matress that envelops you in the night and makes it hard to move. Overall we really had a feeling of being at home while there, we could use the kitchen freely (which we hardly needed). The breakfast was superb, fresch riolls, croissants and pain au chocolat, different cereals, a choice of different jams, fruits, coffee (we had one from a veeeeeeery Italian coffee -pressure-steamer), a variety of teas or hot chocolate. The place would have been a great deal WITHOUT the breakfast, but that included made it a really hot deal! Plus there was a kettle and a selection of teas and coffee in the room. - Not overlooked must be Ludo, an extremely good natured and friendly Weimaranian dog that was a lot of fun to play with. We miss him already :'-) Next time we come to London Lyn & Gavin will be the first to ask for a vacancy again.
