    It is a very well maintained English house and I really loved the home-like atmosphere. Unlike numerous other guesthouses I have been to I got my full privacy in this place. Ric, who is the owner of the house was really nice and helpful.

Company info

Your hosts are working professionals, both involved in international development issues, and exceptionally well travelled. Both work from home when not travelling for work. When at home we spend a lot of time in the garden and exploring slow food production - growing, storing and eating. We have a cat and bees - please bear in mind if you have allergies to any of these (or any other allergies, etc.). Quiet time between 10pm and 6am please.
