Lysander House - Modern, 4-Bed House, near Alton Towers

Location was great for us. Rooms were nice and clean, and the products in the bathroom were a nice touch.

There were no dishwasher tablets and only 1 tea towel in the sparse welcome pack. Only a few wine glasses, no small tumblers, very limited considering there we 8 of us. The extractor fan and toilet seat in ensuite was broken.

Surprisingly spacious and well equipped

Lovely modern house very quiet location. with everything needed for our stay. very close to facilities shops, pubs and restaurants. Easy walk into Ashbourne. Very easy to get in touch with owners if needed. The lady was very nice and polite. In all great property for our needs, would definitely stay again if staying in Ashbourne.

possible more wardrobe space in bedrooms 1 & 3. Also maybe tidy weeds from rear garden. Maybe fake turf especially if you were to stay in good weather when you may wish to use the outdoor space. which actually was a lovely size. Didn't spend that much time at the property as we went for a wedding. Very steep uphill walk back. but ok if you take it steady.

Location good for the Tissington Trail cycle route. Quiet location away from traffic and about 10 mins walk to either the town centre or the out of town M&S food hall. The garden is useful for storing bikes. The kitchen is well equiped, but could do with some sort of scourer to be able to clean oven shelves etc (which weren't cleaned).

Booking was a massive performance. Unlike every other booking I have done with Booking.com, you then have a long convoluted process where you have to provide a scan of your driving licence, sign a rental agreement, provide a deposit. Even then you're still not finished as you have to have a video call. Whilst I can see why they want to take care over who stays, I've also got better ways of spending 1/2 hour than trying to finish a booking. Although there were two bathrooms and a toilet, there is no shaver socket so I couldn't shave or charge my toothbrush during my stay. The double bed in the master bedroom is small.
