The practical get away house is a perfect space for both working and relaxing, with a dedicated small office space, high speed internet and a fully equipped living room and kitchen. There is a professional Sage coffee machine ( if you fancy experimenting with your barista skills). The living room is equipped with a large flat screen TV and sound bar. An EV charge is fitted at the front of the house. The bedroom has a super kingsize bed and there is an extra room that is unfurnished ( could be used for exercising or yoga). There is also a small office room equipped with a desk , office chair and a sofa. The house is located a short 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk to the city centre. There is a Hotel Chocolate outlet store a 5 minute walk from the house ( if you have an exquisite sweet tooth).
I have ben hosting for the past 10 years and I enjoy meeting new people, using my language skills and being able to offer nice and relaxing places to guests where they feel homely.
The city centre has a wide variety of shops, museums, nice restaurants and beautiful walks, especially the one by the river. There is a Hotel Chocolat outlet - 5 minute walk. There is a cinema and a variety of restaurants, Tesco , B&M store a 3 minute drive away.
