Company information

Hello, My name is Joe, and this is my place. I have been in the hospitality industry for over forty years, and currently work as a relief chef. I bought this place early 2020, and as I lost my job as a result of the pandemic I turned to letting out rooms to provide an income. I have since bought an old Canadian RV, which sits in my front garden and provides a private space for me to escape to when my house is full. I believe in offering good value for money, my place is not 'The Ritz', but I would like to think I can offer you a warmer and more informal welcome. The guests I have staying are generally professional people, working in the area through the week, and couples attending family events locally over the weekend. Thank you Joe
