Laura is English and her domestic partner, Patrice is French. Laura teaches various creative arts; Patrice is a language and cultural-awareness lecturer/guru. Their choice of decor reflects an appreciation for traditional country cottage design. They are anti-waste and passionate about sustainability, recycling/upcycling, re-furbishing and re-purposing items. They prefer second hand, pre-loved, shabby chic pieces of furniture plus vintage and antique objects/collectables. You may see some items that are not shiny, new, modern, or perfect – but have been (or are in the process of being) rescued and restored. They'll always be available on the phone or via text/email for assistance and can email you extensive guest information before your stay. They are dedicated to making your stay as enjoyable as possible.
