Booking and payment was really easy. We made 2 payments of half amount each, second just before date of arrival. We had great communication with Patrick and Catherine through the booking procedure and right through our visit to their lovely house.
We arrived around check-in time and were greeted by both Patrick and Catherine who showed us round their rooms which were to be used by us as guests.
The rooms were lovely and cool, benefitting from the shutters and blinds which were shielding them from the light and the 95 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures.
There was a bedroom with a very comfortable bed and furniture in keeping with the age of the house. The room had a particularly good (and quiet) ceiling fan which we found to be very efficient.
The living room/dining room area was also well furnished and equipped with a fridge which thoughtfully contained bottled water as Catherine and Patrick reminded us of the need to keep well hydrated in the hot weather. There was a coffee machine and a kettle for those of us who like our black tea. Tea and coffee including filters were in a drawer and some well thought of cutlery/crockery.
The bathroom was also as thoughtfully kitted out, there were even toiletries should a guest forget or run out of them
After giving us some assistance regarding local shops and restaurants, our hosts left us to settle in and then we went to discover the area with my cousin.
We found Patrick and Catherine to be very thoughtful and helpful hosts. We were never disturbed in any way and only had contact when and if we needed it.
They were kind enough to help out with special requirements too.
We would love to be able to return someday.
Thank you both.
