Mary's house is beautiful, comfortable, warm and in a great location.
I stayed with my daughter and she facilitated 2 single beds, instead of a king-sized one, so I could sleep without being kicked!
Mary's welcome was very warm and much appreciated after a long day. She is like a ray of sunshine and couldn't have been more helpful. She was also extremely discreet, told us where and how we could find her, and left us to it.
The room is very spacious (I had room to do my morning yoga), with plenty of storage and surfaces to place your things on. It is lovely and luminous during the day and well lit at night.
The views are to Mary's gorgeous garden, which I would have been happy to look out onto (from the window seat) all day. Robins and blue-tits to please and even a hopeful fox trying to have pigeon for brekkie!
The en-suite was sparkly clean and very well equipped with toiletries and towels.
Mary provided several bottles of water and always left more out on the hall-way (as re-filling them from the bathroom sink would have been tricky).
The room has a kettle and enough tea and coffee for a week's stay. There were also trays full of snacks and biscuits, pots of porridge and a fruit tray!
Every detail was generously thought of and tended to, making us feel really well looked after.
The location is unbeatable, unless you want to be right-bang in the middle of the bag-pipes! Only a few bus stops away from the historic centre, with buses literally every couple of minutes. Walking time of approx. 20 mins (for an adult) in a straight line. Couldn't be easier.
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality, Mary. Here's to hoping we can stay in your home again!
