About the host
Hosted by Eve
We live in the apartmnet downstairs and are very familiar with the area as we've been here for around 20 years. We can advise on things to do and see and make recommendations for local restaurants, shows, museums, village pubs and places of interest. There is a public golf club within easy reach as well as two shopping malls, a swimming pool, a Cathedral and the beautiful Chiltern Hills.
So, if you like the countryside, you're a Potter fan, you want a place with easy access to London, you're visiting the beautiful local area or need to catch an early flight, just let me know and I will do my best to be a great host! Thank you, Eve x

Why they chose this property
It’s lovely here - it's ‘5 minutes from the middle of nowhere and 10 minutes from the middle of everywhere' – that makes Ashleys a great base for most things. Horses ride past the front windows as there is a riding stables at the end of the lane. There are stunning, far reaching countryide views from the lovely balcony where you can sit and relax.
What makes this property unique
Although the apartment is on the outskirts of a village, it’s also close to all sorts of things, such as good restaurants and bars as well as theatres and live music venues and it’s easy to get to London or the airport via car or via public transport.Take a look at our web site for more information
There is parking space for one vehicle outside the apartment, buses run from the end of our lane and the train station with trains to London is within easy reach.
