Living with Host
The room has private bathroom (though not en-suite), desk, chair, TV, USB sockets, wardrobe and drawers.
My husband and I have lived in the house for nearly 40 years and now share it with a small lady cat named Maggie and a permanent lodger - a young man named Sam.
I provide unlimited tea and coffee and a continental breakfast.
The kitchen can be used for preparing meals as long as it doesn't interfere with our meal plans as we often have friends for dinner.
Bedding is changed weekly.
Smoking is allowed in the back garden.

Parking can be arranged on the drive for a long stay, otherwise we can supply parking vouchers for the roadside bays.

I had a wonderful stay with Judith and Andy. The room is large and comfortably furnished with a private bathroom next door. Judith provides unlimited tea, coffee and bread, while Andy makes the most delicious cakes. Judith and Andy are very generous and welcoming hosts, it's like staying with a favourite aunt and uncle. They are both very sociable but you also have your privacy. Peaceful environment, great transport links and lots of shops and eateries nearby. Book with confidence!
