"Very kind person and always willing to talk. With Fiona I talked all the time when I saw each other about all the things that could come to mind and on weekends she always manages to organize fascinating trips allowing the kids to see places that are not easily reachable by bus independently. It is also possible to meet guys of other nationalities because it has multiple bedrooms"

"Fiona was a great and welcoming host mum. She spoiled me every day with a dessert and she always personally took care of preparing my packed lunch for work. The room she reserved me was clean and comfortable and she didn't fail to make sure I found small snacks there throughout my stay. Our evenings of conversation were pleasant and enlivened by the presence of her beautiful dogs. I absolutely recommend contacting her for the experience"

"Fiona is a very nice woman. She is very comfortable and available. Every time I needed some help she was ready to help me, every time!! The first day she took me to see my workplace, the Nottingham Castle and the city. I talked a lot with her and I think I improved my english skills. I recommend a lot to stay at Fiona's!!!!"
