Joe was really nice and welcomed us with flowers and wine, which we really appreciated. The accommodation was homely and cosy with an eclectic collection of books. We did not realise that Joe lived at the rear of the house so that came as a bit of a surprise and there was not a garden where you could sit in private only a concrete area outside the kitchen - again a bit of a surprise. However, we really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return again.
