  • Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Cowen. What is the height of the sofa bed please. Because am uncomfortable on low beds Thanks Margaret

    Hi Margaret, hope you're well & sorry for the slow response (only seeing this now for some reason). The sofa bed is 43cm from the floor to the top of the mattress (it doesn't feel uncomfortably low to us & we've never had complaints). Cheers! Matt

We would like guests to be able to stay with us, and enjoy the spacious spare rooms, in our 5 bedroom family home. The house has a pleasant outlook over the water meadows, and is well situated, being less than a 10 minute walk to the city walls and historic Cathedral (as well as only a 3 min drive/bus ride or 20 min walk to Salisbury District Hospital). Stonehenge is just over 10 miles away and the New Forest and beaches are also close-by.
I work for a large Telco in the UK, and in 2017/2018 took a sabbatical, where we spent a year travelling the world as a family (staying at plenty of holiday rentals). We spent 5 months in Canada and the USA, then home for Christmas and New Years in England, before 2 months in New Zealand, 3 months house sitting in Australia, and 6 weeks exploring SE Asia. Our family of five (me, my wife Elizabeth, our son and our 2 daughters) will most likely be around during your stay. We're happy for you to interact with us as much as you prefer (but it's also no problem for you to keep to yourself too).
We live in a quiet residential area, which is really well located. There is a bus stop round the corner, the train station is just over a mile away and there is parking available on our driveway (parking on the road has some restrictions)
