About the host

We have lived in the stunning village of Empingham for over 30 years. We brought up our children here, we are invested in the area and now in Primrose Hall Cottage, which we are keen to share with our guests. My wife Helen who is a primary school teacher, has to do the tough stuff, while I, having retired from a sales and marketing career get to enjoy and develop our new venture. Please do come and experience what we have to offer at Primrose Hall cottage and tell your friends!
