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. We have just gone through a major renovation with new kitchen & living area and at present I am gradually finalising the finishing touches with some minor re-decorating and designing it to become as quirky and nice a place as our still much missed home in Aldershot was. We love our new home, and hope you will love it too.
This 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 you with simple breakfast including coffee & tea during your stay.
My place is close to Woking train station and bus stops and ideal for short contract workers in The Woking, Farnborough and Guildford area.
The space
There is a small single guest bedroom with standard single bed, desk & wardrobe, with window onto the garden.
There is a double guest bedroom with a standard double coil-sprung mattress. A small desk is available and there is generous wardrobe space. The double bedroom will not be available til autumn 2024.
The quiet neighbourhood guarantees a good night rest.
Guest access
You will have access to living room, kitchen and bathroom and are invited to make the place your own. 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're free to use the kitchen to your hearts content, but please only use wooden/silicone spoons for the non-stick pots and pans..
Other things to note
This is a strictly non-smoking property which includes the garden and front-of-house!
Check in generally between 19:00 and 20:00 depending on my own situation. I can be flexible however, and am always happy to try and work out a solution if you want to check in earlier.
Please note that there is a friendly cat in the property named Suki.
Please be aware my 2 children spend on average 2 days per week with me, mostly the weekends. 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.
Please note that loss of house keys will incur a charge of £80.
Finally, 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.
