My aim is to give guests a home away from home sense of feeling. Recognising what’s needed for the perfect staycation your comfort is paramount. I like to greet guests and make sure they are familiar with everything. Then I’m at hand if needed, but generally people just want to get on with things themselves and are left in peace.
