Unfortunately Josephine wasn't able to meet me on arrival as she had to work, but she left the keys in a safe place so I could let myself into the house at my preferred arrival time - I really appreciated her trust in me! A note was left on the table telling me were to find everything so it all went smoothly. I met Josephine, her husband and Ted the dog a little later and found them all to be relaxed, very welcoming and I felt right at home. The house is large and full of character with an eclectic mix of antiques and a 'shabby chic' style. I really liked it. The bedroom is a large, bright double with a very comfortable bed and quality pillows and bed linen/covers. I had a bathroom to myself which had an original cast iron Victorian bath with the claw feet - I didn't actually get to use it but it looked good! The location is very convenient being close enough to the main road to catch buses, but far enough for it to be quiet. Very pretty setting with Victorian houses built around a triangular- shaped green. I had the place to myself in the evening which I spent in the kitchen/dining room in front of the wood burning stove with the dog and a takeaway curry (very good by the way). I felt quite at home. Had a nice leisurely breakfast with Josephine and Howard chatting about all sorts of things. A really nice stay albeit very brief. I would stay there again.
