This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

Helen is delightful, very homely atmosphere and nothing too much trouble. Four hearts only because, having requested and needed a ground floor room, the accompanying 'bathroom' facilities are very basic and also roadside parking could be an issue.

Helen is a charming, warm-hearted lady, she made us feel like friends. Her little house is simpel and romantic and we had everything we needed. The bathroom was clean, our bedroom small and and the bed comfortable, it was quiet and we slept very well. We spend two pleasant evenings talking.

Helen was very welcoming. She went out of her way to make our visit easy and comfortable. The cottage is charming and in a very quiet location. The room was clean and comfortable. She was flexible regarding check in and breakfast time. The stay was good value and I would stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay and Helen was the perfect host!
Was a lovely room and house to stay in, full of character! We were made to feel so welcome.
This was the first time we used a home stay and would definitely use again.
Thank you Helen for everything!July 2016
Je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps à vous dédier mais je peux vous dire une chose : je serai rester beaucoup plus longtemps chez Helen, malheureusement elle partait en vacances. Mais je reviendrai dans son joli cottage, si accueillant. Helen est une personne délicieuse, prête à aider pour que l'on se sente chez soi.
Pour ma première expérience, j'ai eu de la chance. AnnieJune 2016
Helen is an amazing host. Her house is a wonderful place for whose who want to enjoy an atmosphere of a real English village. Everything is very authentic and special. The house is like a museum and a maze. And by the way, Helen provides the best bedroom in the entire world. So cozy and beautiful that it seems like time stops when you are here.
