Kate (and her sons) were wonderful hosts. Communication was great before and during my stay. Since the family would be away on my first morning in their home, Kate inquired about and provided food for breakfast. Access to the house was great. I felt like I was at home and could come and go as needed. The little attic room was lovely!! All I needed and more. A comfortable bed, desk space to work, a place to hang/put my clothes, a kettle for tea with tea bags/coffee/cream/sugar, a comfortable chair, and great lighting, whether natural or electric. There was a TV, although I did not use it. The room, located at the top of the house, gave me the privacy needed for my tasks, and use of the the shared bathroom with the family worked well. The house was orderly, clean and welcoming. I enjoyed conversation with Kate and living with the family a few days. Access to the house by public transport was good. About 20-25 minute walk to the train station. Bus stops right outside the house (although I did not use them). I would recommend Kate as a host. Thank you Kate for your hospitality!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
