From the moment we booked communication from Kate was perfect. We were visiting Isleworth because we were attending the Army V Navy rugby match at Twickenham and wanted to be close by. Kate has put a booklet of local points of interest and recommendations for good food and drink with menu’s to complement. Bus, train and tube times were listed with destinations and average times - really thought out and perfect for us not knowing the local area.
We had told Kate why we were visiting and this formed the first topic of conversation, second was Kate’s gorgeous and friendly dog Django. Being dog lovers Django gave us lots of cuddles after our long journey.
The bedroom is not far from the front door and is almost an annex on the side of the house, it was very private and we had access to a fridge and our own really well sized bathroom with glorious shower. It was very clean and a home away from home. Everything we needed we had and we were made to feel really welcome.
We went to the local pub for our dinner on both nights, Kate’s local and recommended to us for its great home made food and it did not disappoint. The home made burgers were AMAZING and portions are HUGE!! We were introduced to a long term family friend and Kate’s two children whilst dining. We returned for the second nights meal after the rugby and were made to feel so welcome; could not ask for more.
One thing to bear in mind is this is a family home and the key to maximising your experience is to integrate. It is not a hotel and should not be treated as such. We were so happy from start to finish that we have booked again to stay with Kate and her family next year.
