Living with Host
I have 2/3 double rooms which all have wi fi , plenty of cupboard space and share a shower room with toilet. There is also a toilet cloakroom downstairs. Guests are welcome to use the kitchen and there is a larder fridge and shelves for dry goods in the utility room. Guests can use the washing machine with a decent load to make it economical. The house is Victorian with plenty of character, warm and comfortable
Guest Parking
Parking is the the streets around the area where vehicles can be left indefinitely. Over 30 years this has never been a problem
The Area and Transport
My house is very central with no more than 20 minutes walk to theatres. In the Summer I have a lovely walled garden for guests to sit in and there is parking on the streets locally. The station is also within a 30 minute walk or obviously more quickly by taxi
