We live in a large 4 bed house in Willenhall, West Midlands, approximately 15-20 minutes drive from the UK second city Birmingham. Birmingham Airport 30 minutes drive. We will do airport pick-up if required.
The Capital London is 2 hrs away by Train or Car. The cost to get to LONDON by train is approximately £18.00-£25.00 if book ticket in advance.
We have 5 grown-up children between us , who are now off doing their own thing. We have grandchildren who visit from to time.
We are both self-employed and so manage our own work time.
Our 10 year old house is light, bright and modern.
We have a modern kitchen, and a living/dining room that opens into a private garden.
Perfect for bar-b-ques in the summer.
Upstairs are 4 large double bedrooms, two with en suite and a bathroom.
The road is quiet, but still within walking distant of shops, supermarkets, post office, banks, pubs and restaurants.
Local public transport is 3 minutes walk and so you can get to Wolverhampton or Walsall city centre within 15 minutes on the bus.
We enjoy meeting people, like to keep fit, watch movies/sports, have dinner parties and play scrabble.
We look forward to seeing you.

Marlene is a welcoming and attentive host. She ensured we were comfortable during our stay and remained available if we needed anything. Communication from Marlene was great and we had all the facilities we needed to feel at home. Thank you Marlene for an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be visiting again if we are in the area.

Host Marlene was pleasant, not the best of welcomes. Her home was kept clean &tidy. Room was NOT as photo's. Bed creaked loudly & was extremely uncomfortable. Host granddaughter screams of indignations woke me 2 morning's and 3 times throughout the early hours of one night. I paid £85.68 for 4 nights "SLEEP" When I respectfully requested a goodwill gesture for a partially refund. Marlene acknowledged my lack of rest and her gesture of goodwill totalled £12.50.
