    The beds were not that good. We recommend a topper on the matress. The bathroom was clean but the lock was broken. The hostess said she will repair it soon

    It was clean and close to the toen centre, easyto be reached by bus. Very quiet area, which is nice during night. The hostess was kind to us.

    We agreed upon check-in at 11am via the Booking request system, but did not receive instructions until hours later. I don't think this place is a lost hope, but I hope that this can be improved for others, even if it's just a sending of basic instructions upon confirmation.

    The host was nice but didn't seem very welcoming and also didn't give a tour to explain where we were okay to go. It felt like our private room wasn't prepared for customers to stay. The wardrobe in our room still had some of the hosts belongings, the carpet wasn't clean, and the kitchen was cluttered.

    The location was good.

    Cluttered Room with no garden view & a cluttered kitchen

    Despite booking for 2 nights we were put in Room B which was full of clutter. It was clearly someone's bedroom. Our room did NOT have the advertised garden view (SEE PHOTO). The mattresses were very soft too. ROOM A looked a lot nicer. Kitchen was almost unusable. Worksurfaces were full of clutter with  kitchen rubbish left  tied up in the middle of the floor.  All cockery and pans needed a good clean.

    Location was good

    Unfortunately, my room did not have a lock, and I did not feel safe there. The cleanliness was also terrible—there was a lot of dust and hair from other guests. Fortunately, the heating in the room worked well, and it was warm. However, I still do not recommend this place, as there is a huge difference between the advertised photos and reality. The host was very friendly, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place.

    Temperature in the house was quite low. The beds are not designed to be used by adults, too small and uncomfortable. No answer on the phone contact.

    Quite area and not far from city centre by bus.

    House appeared grubby with dirty walls/paintwork. Around lightswitches brown with use. Curtains needed cleaning. Needs redecorating. Remember this is a homestay not a hotel so tv or kettle in room although there was kettle in kitchen.

    Host is lovely. Bed clean and comfortable, good night's sleep. New good quality secure lock fitted to bedroom. Wonderful hot and powerful shower. Full use of kitchen. Although a few miles out of centre is easy to find (one straight road) and are buses. Lots of places to eat on the way. Good WiFi

    I had a little trouble knowing how to turn on the shower, but a guest showed me the switch high on the wall

    Delightfully close to the airport (I walked up to catch my flight the next morning). Food at the Airport Tavern was just what I needed (and the waitress was very cute!).
