What an awesome time! Graham, his partner Grace, and his friend Rob do their best to create a comfortable environment for their guests.

The pillows, duvet and bed were of high quality and comfort, and the room had plenty of space and was very clean. Both the upstairs and downstairs showers were working well with great pressure. The backyard is just like the photos, allowing you a very quiet place to relax for some tea, food, drink, or any other habits. The kitchen is large, and anything you need to borrow is probably available - just ask. Dinner is served almost every night. It's an ideal way to save some cash and get to know who you are staying with at the same time - all home cooked too! So, whatever the price is listed at the time, I suggest you give it a try. The area is also within 5-7 minute walking distance to their supermarket, takeaways, restaurants and pubs.

Also, if you play darts or snooker, Graham has a well built games room in the backyard with both to play at your leisure. You are in luck if you catch him with some time as he likes a challenge, and I am sure he would be willing to give you a go. I went easy on him this time, allowing him to win all the games played, but next time I won't be so generous!

Coming home to this quiet place after a long trek downtown felt right. This is a shared home of good size, and the people are truly friendly. Graham is a self-made fellow with high intelligence, sharp wit, kind heart and an excellent sense of humor. When not busy he is always free for a little chat, and does his best to encourage and listen. His partner, Grace, is equally compelling. She is the quieter of the two, but do not let this fool you, as her charm, spirit and soft persona is just as strong, lovely and soothing. It's never hard to bring laughter to either of these two. If you are lucky, you may even have the treat of meeting Graham's mother, Ivy, who is very lively and definitely has a mind of her own!

Rob, Graham's friend, and who has been staying with the family for a while, was equally cordial and attentive - always willing to help when needed, and very knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects (as of now, Rob and Graham were even auditioning for the popular quiz show POINTLESS - best of luck to them!)

All 'n all, I didn't want to leave by the end of my trip. You are staying with a family, and if you show the same amount of common sense and respect they show you, then expect to feel part of it. The experience does grow on you.

Thanks again folks for the lovely time.
I do look forward to paying you a visit again in the future. :)
Cheers!
