Our stay was wonderful. Our family of 6 stayed with Jackie for a month and we felt so welcome and comfortable. She gave helpful input on getting around and things to see. The train station is close and easy to use. The 30 minutes ride gave us time to read the paper on the way home, familiarizing ourselves with what is going on locally and relax before making dinner.
The breakfast Jackie provided was very nice. Everything was provided and we could eat whenever we were ready. The fresh bread was one of our favorite things, my boys couldn't get enough! There is a grocery store about a seven minutes walk away.
The rooms are very clean and spacious, the six of us did not feel cramped at all. We were comfortable and at ease on the days we stayed in and the children played in the garden. It was also really nice to chat with Jackie and Bill and get to know more about local culture and politics.
Our time in the UK was great and a lot of that had to do with how comfortable we felt in Jackie's home. We had fun while we were out but feel relaxed when we were 'home'.
