    I really liked my little bedroom, private sitting room and private bath. My suite was just off the kitchen which was very convenient. Joe was very kind and helpful to make sure everything that I needed was sorted. It was also very nice to be able...

Company info

Hello, My name is Joe, and this is my place. I have been in the hospitality industry for over forty years, and currently work as a relief chef. I bought this place early 2020, and as I lost my job as a result of the pandemic I turned to letting out rooms to provide an income. I have since bought an old Canadian RV, which sits in my front garden and provides a private space for me to escape to when my house is full. I believe in offering good value for money, my place is not 'The Ritz', but I would like to think I can offer you a warmer and more informal welcome. The guests I have staying are generally professional people, working in the area through the week, and couples attending family events locally over the weekend. Thank you Joe
