    A great house for families.

    The house was home for a week, however we could not use any of the wardrobes, so felt we were living out of our suitcases. A booklet on how to use the appliances would have been useful. The bathrooms apart from the cloakroom were clean, however the kitchen needed to be cleaned. The patio area was much better after it was cleaned.

    The house is situated in a lovely, family oriented and quiet neighbourhood. We liked the house especially as it had several bedrooms with en-suite facilities. The kitchen was well equipped ( some missing pieces) . I wasn’t sure how to use some of the appliances, so was pleased that the host arranged for someone to come over and explain. The bedrooms were spacious. The garden was superb and I guess the hot tub would have been great, unfortunately we did not get to use it. It was great to have a TV with the various channels.

    in order to check in I had to pay security deposit of £250. I had to wait 10 days (after emailing and phoning management office) to get my deposit back (even though the place was left clean and no damages were done). Also, the site suggests there is a working hot tub, which was dirty and disconnected. It shouldn't be featured if it's not something people can use...

    Beautiful house, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. easy check in and check out, good location.

    OK place to stay in this area with limited alternatives
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Four-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Property does not look as on the photos. Garden was indeed messy as mentioned in one other review - bubble bath dirty, furniture rusty and unpleasant, pallets stored, broken flower pots. There were many things puzzling me. Instructions received prior to arrival lengthy, not structured, repetitive, promising fines - difficult to refer and navigate thru. Upon booking, terms notified of cash deposit upon arrival to be returned at departure. It turned out that due to contactless check-in I need to wire deposit. Local UK account details were sent. I spent quite a time to get international IBAN. At the end I lost some 7% of deposit on conversions and fees. Also got depo back only 4 days after checkout and only after sending a reminder request. Instructions told I need to collect trash and place it outside property, but does not mention whether in the inner yard or on the side of the street, so upon arrival we found trash in front of the property. somebody was same confused, and there are foxes running around tearing trash bags. Some unknown car was parked at the property during our whole stay, Inside - I understand when the ancient staircase is creaking, but not the bathroom door, it just needs to be oiled properly, and this is annoying. There is aged dirt and dust behind the furniture. There are cords hanging all over. There is cupboard placed atop another shelf, shaking, posing the risk for my 4yr old kid. There is wardrobe occupied with some owner stuff, limiting space to hang clothes (my daughter could not hang the dress properly). We actually did not care too much as were staying for 2 nights only, and majority of time we spent in our friends' house, using this only for a night sleep. And we did not use kitchen or living room totally, so can't tell of those facilities too much. Some photos of flaws are attached.

    We needed to stay in this area as we came to visit friends who live close by. Location is great. Safe neighborhood. There is good infrastructure nearby with restaurants and cafes rated above 4 on google, and they are good, we mostly dined there or at friends' place. Groceries are also nearby. Very green, there is even a small river close. Property itself is rather classic English old style. It was generally fine, but not to the level we expected from photos.

    Upstairs toilet smelled of stagnant water like a bog. Couldn't get rid of the smell with rinsing all the drains so just closed the door and used the en suite bathrooms instead. Superficially cleaned but dust and cobwebs in multiple corners. My main issue is the deposit. It has been 2 weeks since we left and despite being told I would receive my money back initially within 48 hours, then within 3 to 7 working days, I still haven't got it back. My last message to the property asking for an update was ignored. Will have to go through my credit card company to get the £250 back but save yourself the hassle and don't book this place or cancel your booking if you already have.

    The promised hot tub wasn't filled or turned on. All of the bedding smelled of damp. The instructions for the property didn't make sense e.g. talking about a gate key fob for parking and taking all the rubbish to the large bins within the complex (it's a normal house with a driveway and dustbin?) I've been emailed promising my full deposit back but still waiting for the money 3 days post check out.

    Lots of bathrooms and easy to park.

    Awful.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    • Stayed 5 nights

    So disappointed, I don't quite know where to start. The check-in process was ridiculous. Had to provide direct to the host a security deposit of $250 pounds. I was so uncomfortable not paying through booking.com. Further, it took me at least two weeks (and a lot of email requests) to get my money back. Also, before I could get the key lock box number I had to send via text a picture of myself holding an identifying document, namely my passport or licence. As far as cyber safety goes - this is appalling. I am very, very sure they are not complying with GDPR legislation by insisting on this. I felt like I had no choice but to do this though as they already had my money and we had nowhere to stay. The wi-fi didn't work when we arrived and then when it was "fixed" it was so slow it was useless anyway. We notified but heard nothing back. No power outlets in any of the bathrooms. The house itself so poorly maintained - wires coming out of walls, curtains half hanging off, the banister knob was broken and just sitting in place (so dangerous), the cupboards were full of junk, there was an unpleasant chemical smell and there were dirty cigarette butts all over the back porch area. The clothes dryer didn't work and was full of wet linen when we arrived - again I asked for help and heard nothing. There was no curtain in the main bedroom so both neighbours' gardens looked right in - absolutely no privacy. Also, there were people living in some rooms to the side of the house, (you could hear talking and arguing) - their back room also looked into the garden, so again, no privacy, but most importantly - you are definitely not renting the "entire" house. The hot tub wasn't working, and it wasn't made known prior that it was only seasonal. However, it was also left with stagnant water sitting in it. The photos are an absolute misrepresentation of what you are getting.

    Location was good - walking distance to both overground and underground trains.

    No bin bags, no toilet paper, blood stain on one pillow when we arrived, soap almost ran out, green lime scale crust on tap faucets, showers/bathrooms need deeper cleaning, curtains fell off the wall in living room as they’re hung improperly (could have been a past guests fault), hot tub in pictures not clean (I’m not sure if there’s a time of year operation with that) had to remind them to give me the deposit money back but they did give it all so no worries there

    Good location, easy check in, clean on a surface level, towels provided, cheap for a big group :)

    The bed linen was dirty on arrival. On check out, the bottom sheet on my bed was not changed by the cleaner as no clean sheets were available at the property. The tea towel in the kitchen was dirty - I couldn't find any clean ones. The house had not been hoovered adequately. The bathrooms were not clean. The shower trays and toilets needed attention The bath tap in the family bathroom was broken The curtains in the sitting room and one of the bedrooms were hanging off the rails and one curtain is completely missing. The threshold fitting to one of the bedrooms has a sharp raised edge. Lamps without bulbs, and a broken bedside lamp The house had an unpleasant smell which seemed to be coming from the family bathroom Kitchen cabinet door broken

    Lack of things like tea towels and bottle opener. There are no basics in the cupboards. Garden a mess, whole house smelt damp/stale. The whole house felt unloved. We didn't want to stay longer than absolutely necessary. The neighbours were lovely and let us borrow a bottle opener.

    We needed a place in Enfield as had an appointment in the afternoon. The location was perfect.
