Thank you Andy. You were very welcome. Hope to see you here again
I had a lovely stay here! Lucy and Nick were very warm and accommodating. I loved having own bathroom next door, and it was a very comfortable room. Space was made available for my food, and I was easily able to wash my clothes. Very straightforward walk to the theatre, even in the snow!!
Special mention for Max! Lovely cat :)
Overall a great stay - thank you both.
