自我介绍

We are a retired couple and live 3 miles from our holiday cottage listed in Wivenhoe, Colchester. I have a friendly Spanish Water Dog and between my husband and I us we have 6 adult children (living independently) and eight grandchildren. We live in a large detached house in Colchester (about 10-15 minutes walk from the centre) and since the last child moved out have started to do airb&b in our own home as well as letting out a small cottage in Wivenhoe. The space set aside in our own house includes a bedroom with double bed, a private upstairs living room, and private use of the upstairs bathroom. In that way it is more or less self contained within our family home. However, expect to meet us on the stairs and hallways.! You are also welcome to access the garden in nicer weather or to smoke. We don't smoke so don't allow it in the house. We both enjoy live music and walking and I do life drawing and writing. We have a large selection of walk books of Essex,Suffolk and Norfolk. Please ask us any local questions and we will do our best to help. Anyone staying with us will need to be tolerant of our dog Otto (he is very friendly but a little needy) and visiting family including children. Our house however is spacious and relaxed. We are very sociable and enjoy hosting but will also respect your privacy. We are often out and about and can advise you of local pubs,music venues and more cultural pursuits.
