About this property

Home away from home

There is a single guest bedroom with a standard single bed. and a small desk as well as wardrobe. In addition there is a larger bedroom with a double bed and again a desk & wardrobe.
The quiet neighbourhood guarantees a good night rest. It is a homestay and that means I live onsite. As such kitchen, living room, dining room and bathroom are shared areas. I will have 1 guest or couple at a time in the other room.
This is a strictly non-smoking property which includes the garden and front-of-house! Please note that there is a friendly cat in the property named Suki. My 2 primary school age children spend on average 2 days per week with me, mostly the weekends and I generally try to avoid booking guests on those weekends, but there may be exceptions. I will always try to let you know in advance about this but can't foresee last minute events.

Our home is very much a family house that is lived in, and not a showcase, but you will find all the amenities you need within clean facilities. I aim to provide guests a 'home away from home'. For stays under 1 week I will provide a simple (semi-continental) breakfast including coffee & tea during your stay.

I want you to feel comfortable during your stay and feel at home, as this is essentially a family house. It also means that you will leave the place in a clean and tidy state as you would do at home. You will have access to living room, kitchen and bathroom and are invited to make the place your own. You're free to use the kitchen to your heart's content, but please only use wooden/silicone spoons for the non-stick pots and pans..

Please note I have no TV and therefore no TV license, but if you have a TV license elsewhere in the UK than this will allow you to make use of BBC iPlayer etc.

About the host

Hosted by Ron

Host profile image
I am a Dutch national who has been living abroad since 2004, almost 4 years in KL, Malaysia, and since 2008 in the UK, where I work as a medical professional.
Mostly working hard, but if given the chance, travel and enjoy active outdoors. Cycling, skating, climbing, scubadiving are key words. Love good food and hence love cooking. Fluent in Dutch, English, German, Indonesian & Malay.

Why they chose this property

Lotus Pod House was established early 2018 in a lovely Victorian house in Aldershot. Work circumstances led to a move to Woking in March 2021, where I set up in an early 1900's cottage-type town house, which recently went through major renovation works. Following this, at present I am gradually re-decorating and designing to become as quirky and nice a place as our still much missed home in Aldershot was. We love our new home though, and hope you will love it too.

What makes this property unique

This is a quiet, green area in Woking. My place is close to Woking train station and bus stops and ideal for short contract workers in The Woking, Farnborough and Guildford area. with the train station only 8 minutes cycling from here, trains get you to London under 40 minutes. There is a leisure centre with swimming pool and other sports facilities nearby. Plenty of opportunity for walking & cycling.
