Eleanor is a great host. Warm and welcoming.
I arrived at her cottage in the morning and as she new I started my trip very early the first thing she did was offering me some breakfast with home made brownies and buns. We were talking about my trip and the things I wanted to do during my stay in London and she gave me a lot of good tips which made my stay much easier. She was always around and took her time for a chat about the day. She made me feel being home.
She lives in a cosy little cottage with this little room on the first floor. There is not much space but enough for a suitcase. The bed is comfy. I had everything I needed for my stay.
Richmond is a nice area. More like a small town and totally different from the bustling city of London. As I stayed there for the Rugby World Cup Final I had not enough time to discover the area but I will come back to visit all the parks and the town when it is not full with Rugby fans. I can deffinately recomment a walk along the river from Richmond to Twickenham - it's wonderful. Thanks to Eleanor I had a wonderful time and hopefully I have the chance to stay with her again.
