There was nothing we didn't like, it was perfect

A beautiful, clean, well equipped house, which was very comfortable to use. Very responsive host who provided lots of information prior to us getting to the property, which was very helpful. House was perfectly situated for our visit to Thorpe Park and then London. We were very grateful to them for getting us in as our previous property, booked via booking.com, let us down on the day as they had double booked, so this was a last minute booking. Thank you for getting us out of a difficult situation. This booking was for my disabled daughter, her friend and 2 carers, who had already started travelling when we found out our previous booking was cancelled. However it worked out for the best as this property was far superior to our original booking.

Kitchen had all you needed except eating utensils, but we made due.

Our family was visiting from the US, 4 adults & 7 children. This home exceeded our expectations, was spacious, very clean, updated and a quiet location. The beds were comfortable as well. I would definitely recommend this place .

Fabulous property everything has been done to a high standard. Also the host Steve went above and beyond providing information on the area for us during our stay.

The property was lovely and clean, fresh and spacious, and the beds were lovely and comfortable. Steve had gone to the effort of making sure there were fans in every room, and considering the scorching 30 degree heat it was a very welcomed addition to the rooms.

We all had a lovely stay, comfortable beds, nice powerful showers, the house had everything we needed, dishwasher, actifry, full size fridge freezer, it was like home from home, great selection of TV, and loads of space, we were visiting London for the day, Hatton cross station, just a 10mins drive away and only £11 to park all day, McDonald's just down the road, also Harvester restaurant and a yummy Chinese shop near by to, Steve the host gave great information about the keys, and surrounding areas, he was very friendly and helpful, lovely quiet street, we will definitely come back.

I'd say check the tea, coffee, sugar as there wasn't;t much within the house. No iron and ironing board.

The house, was huge, well laid out, all the bedrooms were clean, tidy, the bathrooms were clean, easy to use. Lovely kitchen island for us to all sit around and chat which was nice. Great outside space too. I would highly recommend this house for anyone who is looking to stay within the area, also if you wanted to lock your bedroom door the keys were there for you to do so. Steve was a fantastic host, clear instructions, too us where everything was, and where we could get items that we needed.

Great space I struggled to find back door key to take rubbish out but that was it.

The host was very friendly and the place was so warm and inviting when we got there. Plenty of space and some good size bedrooms. There was a beautiful view of the lake too. Everyone felt so comfortable and wanted to stay longer.

Nothing.

The house was in a great location for Thorpe Park. Plenty of off-road parking available. The house was spotless, with large double bedrooms and good size bunk beds. The beds were the most comfortable I have stayed in! Plenty of rooms and space for our extended family stay. Steve made the whole process completely painless with instant replies to our messages and great instructions to check in and out easily. We loved staying here and were really impressed with it and hope to stay again.

Accommodated 10, we were only a group of 8 but not enough seating for us all. Needs more sofas as only seats for 6. Also not enough plates and glasses for everyone, only 1 wine glass, otherwise facilities were really good but unfortunately dishwasher was not working and we were unable to find a hairdryer, not sure if there was supposed to be one but I would expect this and so didn’t bring one, had to just towel dry hair.

Location was great for Thorpe park, only a 15 minute drive. Very clean property and beds were really comfortable. Information provided by host about nearby shops and local pub, we didn’t use them but handy to know.
