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.March 2018
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.

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.
