Ellen and Jason arethe guest house best hosts I've come across so far on my travels. the guest houseguest housework is simple enough, you have plenty of free time to do as you wish and they're all round just lovely people. Highly recommend this opportunity for anyone who is wanting a nice, calm place to relax for a while, to anyone who plays music. Jam sessions were always great fun or to anyone who loves animals. PS I already miss Athena
