Chichele House, sleeps 8, Nr Rushden Lakes, allocated parking, corporate welcome

Used the property for my family that come from abroad to visit us. Used it only for sleeping, rest of the time they have spent it at our house.

Nothing to say about this.

Quiet location and friendly neighbours, accommodation was well presented and clean.

Nothing.

The house was nice and tidy. Plenty of information to introduce the house,use of equipment and the area. Warm and cosy.

Pillows really need renewing.

The apartment was bright and welcoming with one allocated parking space. Spacious main bedroom with ensuite plus separate family bathroom. Master bed very comfortable and although the apartment is on a housing estate it was really peaceful. Very well equipped with everything we needed for time with family. Agent was very responsive to any queries and the wifi was excellent!

We couldn't really use dining area without moving the sofa bed. Second bedroom only just fitted in a double bed so access was restricted. Cot was not available for our stay so we took a travel cot and the 3rd bedroom, although a good size single room didn't have room for a cot without moving the desk to the landing area. The parking around the area was very congested so it could be difficult parking a second car.

The bed linen and towels were fresh and clean It was a good location for the family wedding we were attending

Originally booked with 7 people in mind to stay 2 nights for a family wedding, there ended up only being 5 of us which was very lucky because I’m sure how we would have fit even 1 more person in let alone 2. The extra 2 people would have also been an additional cost. There were only 5 lots of plates, mugs, forks which meant we had to be constantly washing and drying but there was only one tea towel provided so this was dirty very quickly. We used the oven on the first night to cook a meal but had an issue because there was only one shelve in the oven and only one tray so we had to cook a simple pasta bake and garlic bread meal with one thing at a time. Toilet seat in main bathroom was loose and slipped, the loo roll holders were loose and coming off the walls, the velux style blind in the small bedroom was hanging off at one side due to being broken. I had to wipe food spillages from the kitchen unit handles and there were no lids on the bin. One the second morning (day after a wedding on a warm day) there was no hot water for us to be able to have showers before leaving. The general cleanliness and appearance is below standard and does not match the description or photos on the site. If we had got another two people with us they would have been sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room which is also the kitchen and dining room so would have been very awkward. I feel the standards need to be higher for the price and although it didn’t reflect on our stay the patio style door even had moss growing on them. I cannot assume it to be the property itself but everyone in our party has left with several small insect bites on arms and legs, some which appeared whilst we sat having dinner or breakfast. This should be advertised as 5 people maximum.

The house was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. It had all facilities in the kitchen and bathroom. We enjoyed our stay as we were visiting family nearby.

There were not enough cups/mugs and it would have helped to have more.

Great location in a quiet residential area, very clean and off road parking for our car
