It's very bright and the sun shines through from morning to night. There are lots of clear explanations on how to use the appliances and other things in the house. Lynn and Chris's house is located at the top of the village of Staithes, a lovely fishing village nestling in the cliffs with a small beach, a harbour, 2 or 3 pubs, restaurants and a few shops. We loved this postcard village so charming that we wanted to go there several times a day. From there, the Cleveland Way (a national footpath that runs for over 100 miles along the cliffs) winds its way through the surrounding villages on foot, a very pleasant way to enjoy tea and excellent cakes in the "tea gardens" recommended by Lynn. We enjoyed the kindness and smiles of the people of North Yorkshire, which we cycled through, sometimes along the coast (with a special mention for the village and beach of Robin Hood's Bay) and sometimes across the wild moorland and its heather. A family holiday with a change of scenery, where you can always find something to do even when the weather is cloudy (but the sun is never far away). When we got home, the house was just as we'd left it, with a kind note and a present waiting for us. Many thanks to you Lynn and Chris for a very successful exchange!
