Guest Reviews
- Moleen (10/5): - Clean and comfy house Neighbours complaining and the slight music we were playing. The house was clean that as a group we started helping the cleaner tidy up, the host didn't understand this, so he shouted at us and asked us to leave.... understandable, but there was no need as he was helping out. He could have spoken to us nicely instead of shouting
- Kelly (9/5): Fabulous Accommodation, would definitely stay again A++++++ - House:
Very spacious
Multiple bathrooms was convenient
Additional fans located throughout the property
Wonderful views
Very Clean throughout
TV with additional services amazing
Wi-fi Great
Appliances great
Kitchen was very well stocked with all that we could possible need and more
Parking for two large estate cars great
Host:
Very friendly, accommodating, informative and responsive Fridge water dispenser just started gushing out and we could not find a mop and bucket. However once reporting this issue the host was unaware and apologised
- Patrick (9/5): Une maison impeccable avec tous les accessoires modernes - Les équipements flambant neuf de la maison. Il y avait 2 access possibles, l'un via une prairie intitulée shortwood commons et l'autre par une rue. Notre application pour cyclistes nous a indiqué la 1ere solution ou a travers le parc il y avait 3 chicanes difficilement franchissables en vélo qu'il a fallu porter et mettre debout pour pouvoir passer ces accès. Ce fut pénible et difficile. Une préconisation de ne pas passer par ces communs serai utile et pertinente
- NickCapner85 (10/5): Lovely house - Lovely house for 1 night, used to go Thorpe Park Host messaged at 7.50am to ask what time we were checking out
- Aaran (10/5): Extremely comfortable and enjoyable - Steve the host was amazing!! And the house was fantastic can’t fault a single thing!! Thankyou

- Daryna (10/5): - Власник був дуже добрий, надав всі інструкції вчасно і завжди був на зв'язку . В будинок було легко потрапити, оскільки інструкції були з фотографіями. Будинок чистий і просторий з усім необхідним в середині, достатня кількість посуду і приборів. Ми готували вечерю вдома тому було корисно мати аірогриль. Загалом нам дуже сподобалось.
- Volodymyr (10/5): Came back for a second stay and it was just as amazing as the first — truly one of the best places to stay in London. - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our second stay at this house, and once again it exceeded all expectations. We came back because our first experience was amazing — and we absolutely did not regret it.
The house is still just as stunning: modern, stylish, and incredibly well designed. It truly stands out from typical London homes and makes the stay feel special and premium.
The host is outstanding as always — clear instructions, great communication, and thoughtful details that make everything easy and comfortable. You can really feel how much care goes into hosting.
One of the best places we’ve stayed in London, twice in a row. We would happily return again and highly recommend it to anyone. Amazing job! 👏🔥 -

- Jade (10/5): - We had a brilliant stay and would gladly return if in the area. We really appreciated Steve's clear communication throughout the process, and the house was perfect for friends to get together. Plenty of space, comfy beds, very clean and parking for 3 cars, a 4th small one if you block the driveway.

- SALLY (9/5): Perfect location, great house and facilities - The photos did not do the house justice! It was much more roomy and better appointed than we had thought. Also light and airy. New carpets up the stairs and in the bedrooms. Comfy beds and soft bedding. Great location and parking was perfect. Overall a great choice. Communication with the host was really good and no question too much trouble Rug in the living room to make it feel a bit cosier
- Scott (10/5): - Great communication from owner! house was in lovely clean condition with good facilities, perfect for our stay. Would definitely stay again.
- Jan (10/5): - A beautiful, clean, well equipped house, which was very comfortable to use. Very responsive host who provided lots of information prior to us getting to the property, which was very helpful. House was perfectly situated for our visit to Thorpe Park and then London. We were very grateful to them for getting us in as our previous property, booked via booking.com, let us down on the day as they had double booked, so this was a last minute booking. Thank you for getting us out of a difficult situation. This booking was for my disabled daughter, her friend and 2 carers, who had already started travelling when we found out our previous booking was cancelled. However it worked out for the best as this property was far superior to our original booking. There was nothing we didn't like, it was perfect

- Trish (10/5): Steve was so helpful and left us lots of tips on nearby places. We were visiting Thorpe park the following morning and t - The property was lovely and clean, fresh and spacious, and the beds were lovely and comfortable.
Steve had gone to the effort of making sure there were fans in every room, and considering the scorching 30 degree heat it was a very welcomed addition to the rooms.
- Amy (10/5): - Property is immaculate, very homely and perfect location. More than enough parking for 3 cars. Beds super comfortable and more than enough extras I.e towels, pillows etc to go around
- Ceri (9/5): Great house. - We all had a lovely stay, comfortable beds, nice powerful showers, the house had everything we needed, dishwasher, actifry, full size fridge freezer, it was like home from home, great selection of TV, and loads of space, we were visiting London for the day, Hatton cross station, just a 10mins drive away and only £11 to park all day, McDonald's just down the road, also Harvester restaurant and a yummy Chinese shop near by to, Steve the host gave great information about the keys, and surrounding areas, he was very friendly and helpful, lovely quiet street, we will definitely come back. Nothing.

- Zhu (10/5): Very comfortable - The property is very nice, recently renovated, has both washer and dryer, quiet and safe neighborhood, great for family.
- Christine (8/5): Great location, clean, comfortable property, just lacking a few items. - Location was great for Thorpe park, only a 15 minute drive. Very clean property and beds were really comfortable. Information provided by host about nearby shops and local pub, we didn’t use them but handy to know. Accommodated 10, we were only a group of 8 but not enough seating for us all. Needs more sofas as only seats for 6. Also not enough plates and glasses for everyone, only 1 wine glass, otherwise facilities were really good but unfortunately dishwasher was not working and we were unable to find a hairdryer, not sure if there was supposed to be one but I would expect this and so didn’t bring one, had to just towel dry hair.
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - An absolutely amazing house plenty of room and facilities.From the moment we arrived we thought wow 🤩 what a great place.Steve the host was very friendly and helpful.We would definitely stay again. Nothing really maybe some outside furniture
- Lukethelips (9/5): Great house, very clean, clear instructions on where everything is. - The house, was huge, well laid out, all the bedrooms were clean, tidy, the bathrooms were clean, easy to use. Lovely kitchen island for us to all sit around and chat which was nice. Great outside space too. I would highly recommend this house for anyone who is looking to stay within the area, also if you wanted to lock your bedroom door the keys were there for you to do so. Steve was a fantastic host, clear instructions, too us where everything was, and where we could get items that we needed. I'd say check the tea, coffee, sugar as there wasn't;t much within the house. No iron and ironing board.
