Doreen Has a House for Rent

First of all, I must point out that I only take female guests. My house is in a quiet area of Leeds, where the nearest pub is .7 of a mile away. We're about 6 miles from city centre with bus every 15 minutes and half hourly train service. It's a 10 - 15 minute walk to bus stop or train station. There is a regular train service from the local station Horsforth to Leeeds, Harrogate, Knaresborough and York, and a local bus service to Ilkley. In summer I spend lots of time gardening. I have 4 rooms with desk and lamp, wardrobe, mirror. All rooms have TV. For those working from home, we have very good wifi. We have 2 house bathrooms. Two of the guest bedrooms are on the first floor, where the bathroom has a wash basin and toilet. The house bathroom with toilet, washbasin, bath and shower is on the ground floor. The guest in the basement room will need to walk up to the ground floor for the bathroom and the kitchen. We both enjoy doing jigsaws and you might have to share the dining table with a jigsaw board. My house is big but my kitchen is small, but I'm sure we can both fit in to prepare meals if we tidy up as we go along. Bedrooms 1 and 2 can have a shelf in my kitchen fridge. Bedroom 3 and the basement room have their own fridge. You can also use my freezer if you label your food. We do our own evening meal for about 7 o’clock. We all eat breakfast at different times, so help yourself to a selection from cereals, tea, coffee, orange juice, eggs, toast, pancakes, pain au choc etc. A few local places do breakfast brunch type meals, but they are maybe a mile away. Tea and coffee is available all day. Doreen is 76 and retired, and enjoys cooking, reading, socialising, walking, television, playing bridge, Wordle, jigsaws and gardening. Brian is 80 and retired, and plays online games, jigsaws, Wordle, Sudoku, and other puzzles, and enjoys cooking since retiring. I have four grandchildren who live locally and often come to stay. I have a hairdryer and straighteners you can use, and I provide towels and bedding. I’ll leave spare bedding out for you so you can change your own when you want. Spare towels are kept in the bathroom so that you can get clean ones when you want. I like to recycle where poss, so please ask what goes in which of the coloured bins. As Homestay say it's up to us to check out any visitors, I usually ask if I can photograph a passport, ID card or visa just to confirm identity, much the same way as hotels do now. Due to Coronavirus, I am now only accepting fully vaccinated guests, and would like to see evidence of your vaccination status, which should include one from 2023. I would also expect you to have complied with the UK rules on travel if you have come from outside the UK. Sorry for all this, but it’s the times we are living in now. Hope this is ok with you. Payment should be in cash, one night on arrival, and the rest of the week the next day if everything’s ok. Guests staying a long time should pay a week at a time in advance. Your room will be available from 1.00 pm, and should be vacated by 11.00 am. The day of arrival should be no later than 9 pm.
