Had another lovely stay at Jon's. He was an excellent host and gave us some useful information about the aerospace museum. The house was warm and quiet and our room clean and comfy.
Thanks for your hospitality, Jon. Hope to see you again.

Jon est un hôte accueillant et serviable. J'ai apprécié la salle de bain réservée aux "invités" ainsi que la localisation de la maison : bon service de bus, proximité de grandes surfaces et d'un pub.
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?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 199 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
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.
