About the host
Your host
Hello! I'm Ruth and I live in Horseheath with my partner -and Airbnb co-host- Harvey. We moved into our house at the end of 2021, and have loved the (fairly epic) task of doing up the old coal storage house to create The Owl Box next to our home. A lot of new DIY skills acquired!
We both work at two of the local Science Parks, Harvey in academic research and myself for a biotech company. In our spare time we love to be outside in nature.
