This was a very good stay: excellent communication for a start. We arrived late because our son had a science exam in the morning before we left & although we arrived late (after 10.00pm), Shelagh & Chris made no problem: they made us feel extremely welcome, explained everything there was to know.
They are a very friendly family & hosts & we loved staying in their beautiful house. Our room was very large for the 3 of us, there is a table where our son could do his GCSE revisions & having a fully furnished kitchen was an absolute bonus. We made good use of it (& saved on restaurants bills). Shelagh also put some food for us which was a lovely little extra touch: we used the bread, some cereals, orange juice etc... Thank you for that!
OUR BIGGEST REGRET is the following: on our last night, being a Saturday evening, we felt very awkward about knocking on Shelagh & Chris' lounge door to have a quick word & say thank you for everything. It was getting late & as they were relaxing in their family room with their children, we didn't feel it would be right to disturb them in their own house. We went to bed. It's only when we got up at 6.15am the following morning & had to leave by 7.15am that we realised we had been foolish & that they would not be up, being Sunday morning. We left. And never said a proper 'goodbye'. We feel bad about it as Shelagh & her family are such nice, friendly & welcoming people. Looking back, we wish we had disturbed them and thanked them properly face to face for all they did to make our stay comfortable & pleasant.
