Far exceeded my expectations. I found this place when my Dad took ill during lockdown and I needed to quarantine for two weeks on arrival into the country. I needed a self contained flat, with good wifi to let me work remotely. I work for the NHS so i needed to be on video meetings all day without fear of them dropping out.
As per guidelines, I wasn’t allowed to leave the flat for 2 weeks. I was dreading it. I needn’t have - it was a great choice.
This place is absolutely perfect, especially for business people, or people looking for a reasonable rate but easy access to everything.
Completely self contained and separate to the house, with it’s own entrance through a side passage. Really should be listed as “entire home” but I guess as it’s in the back garden of a home, it can’t be. You don’t come through or enter the main/family house at all.
Kitchen: Fully working oven, grill and 4 hobs (i cooked full dinners every day and could easily have done a roast had i wished). Plenty of cupboard space, Cutlery, crockery, pots, etc - fridge and icebox, table & two chairs. And i must say absolutely spotless. You could eat your dinner off the floor.
Bathroom: shower had excellent water pressure and hot water on demand, whatever the time of day. Fresh towels, loo rolls and miniature toiletries (which was great as I stepped straight in the shower before even unpacking my toiletries, having come through Heathrow). Again, absolutely spotless and fresh smelling.
Bedroom/Living Room:
I dont think the photos do justice to the space. I wasn’t able to go for walks or leave the accommodation for two weeks, so I did lots of youtube workouts and yoga. Plenty of space for that on the big rug. Bed was comfy. I was warm, and On very bad days there was a heater which i used twice and was effective.
I preferred to watch tv in bed rather than the sofa, and the tv is on an arm and swings around so i could do that. No tv stations, bring a chromecast or similar.
Outside, the family have their area of the garden, but there’s a wee table and chairs for you to use Separately - although Pauline did kindly invite me to join the family.
And best of all, were the Hosts. No problem with my getting a Tesco delivery, gave me some batteries when I ran out, kept me sane with some socially distanced chats but gave me all the privacy i wanted, fresh linen, towels, etc. I really felt at home. And of course my mate Lucky gave me great company <3
I can’t recommend this place enough and i’ll be back for sure!!
PS: Thanks pauline & kevin for picking up my washing after it fell over in the garden :D
