N/A

The property was modern and was clean.

Did have to ask for additional towels as was booked for 5 people and only accommodated for 4. However, the host was very accommodating and dropped off some extra towels for us

The house was very clean and organised - nicely adorned for the Christmas visit. It was ideal for a booking to relax and meet family. We booked last minute and everything went smoothly - Ade responded to questions in good time. It was a good base for a small party to enjoy a short stay. The kitchen was excellent as we made a Christmas meal - everything was clean and spotless. Utensils and equipment was new and functioned perfectly. A good space living room with a good TV. Bathroom was spotless apart from a cracked toilet brush. Large bath with shampoo/body wash hand soap etc.

The house was freezing! We contacted Ade and he said to use the thermostats which we did. However . . no effect. There was only one radiator for the living room and it never went higher than tepid in temperature. The whole stay was freezing and it was hard to be comfortable because of the cold. There were no fan heaters to compensate. We ended up eating our Christmas dinner wearing sweatshirts and coats - there was more heat coming from the candles than the radiators. I found it a little difficult to open my presents because my fingers were so cold. Parking is a nightmare - we had two cars but only one 'registered parking ticket' As it was Christmas Day we got away without a parking ticket. What I didn't like either was the 'surprise' DEPOSIT OF £200 demanded AFTER the booking was confirmed. This was not mentioned in the advert on Booking.com - and I think all costs should be up front. The house charge was £145 and the deposit meant another £200 - which potential customers deserve to be aware of when choosing a booking. The fact that it's not mentioned in the advert is quite deliberate and underhand. Plus you have to trust Ade to actually refund it back and not perhaps claim it all because you used too much heating . The couch and two chairs were not very comfortable either. Thankfully the owners left two throws on the chairs to help combat the extreme cold. In response to the hosts response regarding the stay. He was contacted regarding the heating and just informed us to use the the thermostat. The plates were foil wrapped with food - taken by error and returned despite the host's aggressive attitude. The house was left immaculate as well cleaned up - the burnt item was replaced - we took pictures of how we left the house - no surprise that the host Ade did not show any evidence of a mess! He's not being truthful.
