About Fiona Walsh
Fiona Walsh is a well known local and London portrait artist. Many of her drawings and paintings adorn the walls of Gilboa Barn along with paintings by other artists. She loves beautiful surroundings which is why she bought this gorgeous house, filled with light, space, a huge garden and, of course, the fantastic location. Fiona is married with two grown up children and lives both in London and the country. Her priority is to make sure that all runs smoothly at Gilboa Barn and that it is perfect for guests, such as providing little extras such as tea, coffee, salt, pepper, bin liners, toilet rolls etc so that these don't need to be thought of and bought before coming to stay and, of course, a complimentary bottle of champagne! This is not a shoddy house set up purely for rental, but a family home with gorgeous furnishings and plenty of entertainment! The hot tub is always sparkling and clean and the house is kept spotless by Fiona and her "gleam team". It is important to her that her guests feel totally at home in Gilboa Barn, as if it were their own home! Fiona is very warm and friendly, being someone who loves people, and will always be on hand with help and advice should you need help with anything at all.
Fiona Walsh purchased this House in 2008
