I am not sure how Rosemary does it. Somehow she manages to make every person/couple/family who cross her door feel like members of her own family. Within a day, we felt completely at home in Rosie's beautiful and charming flat, and we have not had a better night's sleep during our month in the UK. The breakfasts were fresh and hearty, and our morning chats with our host were a highlight of our time in Scotland. It was perfect, and I think her home is the exact reason why it is sometimes nice to forgo the "entire home/apartment" option and rent a room in your host's home. It adds so much to your experience...especially with someone as engaging as Rosie.
