The location is good
The place is filthy, mould and dirt all over the bathroom tiles, shower is cold with no pressure. Unsafe children’s toys in the garden, cigarettes ends strewn everywhere. We had to phone to get the lockbox code it wasn’t provided. Bedding all smelt musty like it had been left in the machine for days. Floor in the downstairs toilet is all warped and sticky from a leak. No lock on the downstairs toilet.

Smell of damp in downstairs toilet

The facilities and location of the property was perfect.
Lounge was a little small for the amount of people the house accommodates. The bathroom floor gets very slippy and no grab rails or bath mat.

Very clean and great amenities. Host was very gracious.
Could not lock back door.

Big space ideal to accommodate big families. The host offers some coffee and biscuits as welcome kit which is appreciated. They are also reachable and attentive, i communicate to them via booking chat to avoid international call.
The noise of the heater located in one of the rooms. Two faucets on the sink with either super hot or cold in the upstairs bathroom, and no hot water at all in the sink of the ground floor WC. The utensils aren’t clean for my personal opinion as well as the kettle. I would recommend to put a rug outside the bath tub since inevitably water runs outside. The shower screen is very small and only covers one-third of the bathtub.

The property is in a great location for us , near port for our cruise , local amenities are very useful and local. Parking outside property was good
The property is very damp, a musty smell to all rooms , shower to first floor bathroom cannot be regulated , it’s either ready hot or freezing cold . Pressure from it is appalling. Needs more pillows on beds

Bedrooms were a good size.
The house had a mouldy and damp smell. Kitchen cabinets had water stains and didn't look clean. Downstairs toilet had an obvious damp issue as stains on the walls. The garden was in a really bad state. Broken slides, broken trampoline stuffed at the back of a shed, broken BBQ, broken table just dumped in the garden. Though the worst part was when I complained to the owner his reply was children should not be left unattended in the garden!! Which of course we would never do anyway!! He said the furniture was due to be picked up the following week....this should never have been rented out while in this state!

The location was ideal for us
The cleanliness was not good. I had to wash plates, cutlery and cups before we used them. The dust around the ledges in every room is thick. All the carpets are stained. The wooden skirting-boards in the toilet down stairs is rotten and hanging off the wall. The dining table chairs need cleaning.

Location and parking all family being together
Kitchen and back garden very poor standard . Outside space unsafe for children and my grandson injured himself needs some serious attention

Great location (we were cruising from Southampton) - perfect for 6 of us - the kids loved it !1 Would recommend for any family.
Broken children's slide in the back garden needs removing or repairing !!

The location was ideal for the purpose of our visit
The house wasn’t appealing in any way. The rooms were dirty, the garden area to back was artificial grass which had weeds growing through it. Wasn’t fixed to the floor properly. There was a kids slide that was all cracked at the bottom which cut my grandsons leg. The bedding in all rooms smelt damp. Decoration of all the walls was poor. The shower had poor water pressure.

REFUND REQUIRED
The house was INFESTED with bed bugs, they were crawling over the headboard, the bed linen and so many eggs. DISGUSTING. I have videos of them crawling over the bedding.
The showers were cold, damp throughout the house, so many cigarette butts scattered at the front and the back.
The host gave us the wrong key code multiple times so we were unable to access the property when we arrived.

Home was well furnished, clean and comfortable. Parking was on the road outside property but the street was secure and lots of places available.
We stated one night before our cruise and slept brilliant and avoided the morning traffic by staying locally.
The hot tap wasn’t working in the shower or the upstairs sink. It was fine downstairs but shower was freezing cold.

House was attractive, all amenities were provided, extra touches were muchly appreciated.
Husband doesn't like dark coloured bed linens, so struggled to settle

House was slightly better than expected. It looks like they have replaced the furniture in the dining /living room since some of the old reviews. Comfy beds, lots of space in the bedrooms
There is only one bathroom (even though the listing says 2, there is just a second toilet downstairs) which was a problem in the morning and the water pressure for the shower was pretty poor. The kitchen equipment is dated (particularly the oven which is gas and tricky to turn on), but functional enough

Very convenient for visit to Paultons Park. Clean, comfy beds, would very happily stay again
Shower. Hot water dribbled out of the upstairs taps.
4.0 / 10.0
Firstly we only required an overnight stay and for the cost it was manageable.
The property is badly in need of some TLC. There was a lot of thick dust, numerous marks on paintwork, falling curtains, taps that need fixing, iron marks on carpets, carpets need fixing, stained linen and lack of kitchen utensils for larger groups.
The hot water to the shower takes a good 5 minutes to come through and then it has weak pressure. It needs the shower fixing back to the wall, it’s loose.

Location quiet, safe and easy parking, local to the cruise port. Having a dowstairs toilet separate from the upstairs one too. Spacious bedrooms. Great communication. Outside garden area to sit for any smokers, and ashtray included. Milk and biscuits, tea, coffee on arrival. A great chippy around the corner (prefer cash).
The place is a bit tired and the upstairs beds need new mattresses, they've definitely had their day, sadly. The chairs around the dining table a bit cramped and very heavy to move. Lounge had the dining table in it, making the space feel small and not cosy and relaxing, just functional only.

Everything was as described. It was easy to get in, and there was enough kitchen equipment. The shower was hot, and towels soft. Beds in back bedroom were uncomfortable but others were fine. Very kind of the host to leave some sweets and biscuits for us. The house is in a quiet road and it was easy to park outside.
Needed a towel in the downstairs cloakroom.

Good location, nicely decorated. Biscuits nice touch
It was nice but we struggled to get regular channels like BBC etc. Definitely needed bigger towels. Bedding in downstairs room - duvet didn’t fit cover so uncomfortable to sleep in. Downstairs toilet blocked and the sink bubbled when you flushed.

The bedrooms are lovely. The hosts seem very good and very communicative.
The living area is too small for the amount of people it can sleep. Living room/ dining area too small, we couldn’t all even relax on the sofa. The kitchen wasn’t overly clean.

Good rooms with lots of bed options. Clean and comfortable. Lovely quiet area and good location. 5-10 minutes to Shirley high street and a 40 minute walk into Southampton.
We had no tea towels or kitchen scissors. Could also have done with some waste paper bins in the bedrooms and hand towels in the bathroom.
