About the host

Ive always loved interiors- creating spaces that feel warm, welcoming and full of personality. There's something special about taking a room and adding those touches that make people instantly relax and feel at home. I'm drawn to cosy textures, earthy colours and little details that tell a story, and I love seeing how a space can completely change how someone feels. Hosting Railway cottage has been a natural extension of that. For me, it's not just about providing a place to stay - it's about creating an experience. I genuinely enjoy thinking about what guest might need. I love knowing that people can arrive, switch off , and enjoy the cottage, whether that's after a long walk along the canal or a day exploring the local area. Being a host allows me to combine my passion for interiors with my love of making people feel welcome. - and has what enjoy doing most.
