8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
Comfortable and clean. Quiet at end of cul-de-sac. We made a mistake by looking at the bedroom images when determining the combinations, so thought there were 2 rooms with queen beds not 1, but we had enough beds so it wasn't a problem really. Only negative is there is not even a drive into the property to get the car off the street in the curve of the cul-de-sac. But would stay there again, so again not a biggy.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jan 2020
The property was very clean and tidy and had personal notes from the owner. Check-in was fairly effortless and the reminder emails beforehand were helpful.Lovely thought to put a chocolate cake in the freezer for us however it was mouldy! A few things that made our stay less enjoyable: noisy neighbours, the springs on the couch were very worn, there was no wifi (these days it would be good to specifically point out if no wifi) and by stating the house was “pet-friendly” we assumed that meant some form of fencing of which there was none. Overall our stay was pleasant however we encourage that you please point out to future guests the things they won’t have so that they are prepared i.e wifi,fence,washing machine,dishwasher or extended water use.
