It was the first large house to be built in Wetheral, influenced by the development of the Newcastle to Carlisle Railway which brought increased trade and prosperity to the area.The Sun Rain Room, as this work is accurately called, may be the architectural project with the most meteorology per square metre since Noah built the ark. The architects say they want it to be “a good place to be on a bad day”. Because of the doubling and dissolving of the reflective surfaces, it takes a while to realise how little usable space is actually added – just a big wall cupboard to house a barbecue, a potting shed and such like, an enclosed area big enough for a smallish dining table and another, sheltered but external, where you can also eat.

I found so many things I could change to reflect the new season with very little cost. My seasonal need for change became something that my family and friends embraced. They looked forward to each season wondering “what will she do next?”

However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things): What is it about city dwellers moving to the countryside (usually temporarily) that makes them, in their own minds at least, experts on all aspects of rural affairs, and keen to share their random Google searches with the wider reading public? The book is supposed to be about the history of a house in Pembridge, Herefordshire, (near where I live), that the author bought with his husband, according to the blurb and insinuated by the title and dust wrapper illustration, but the information assembled is so meagre that, I’m afraid, I felt that I had been conned. The author is a journalist and writes well enough about his preferred subject, art, but pretending that has anything to do with his house becomes farcical at times. Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
