"Grace was the perfect host from when I booked, until I checked out. So helpful with things to do in the area. Also, great to chat to! I was apprehensive about staying in a room in someone’s house because I’ve not done that before, but I felt right at home and couldn’t have been more comfortable. The room is filled with lovely little details and was very clean. Couldn’t have asked for any more! 100% recommend." - Ed
