    The location was great, everything we had to go to were very accessible with just few mins drive. You have everything that you would expect or need in a homestay. Julie was very accommodating. She invited us for Christmas lunch which was quite nice.

    Julie was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to help me feel at home. I had a very quiet and comfortable room where I could rest to prepare for the marathon I ran during the stay - and then recover afterwards! Definitely recommend.
