Richards property is cosy and at a perfect location of you don't want to stay in central location, in my case it was perfect for me and my family. The locality was nice and friendly also and everything was close by (shops, takeaways, fuel station etc). it was roughly 30mins drive away from central London depending on traffic.
Richard was a perfect host, really friendly and always on hand any tike I needed anything. However, I think the bathroom wasn't practical for my father as he's of old age. the basin was on the other side of the top floor and toilet alone free standing in the other room. Also, the garden wasn't child friendly at all and did spot the few obvious mouse traps in the kitchen diner which I wasn't expecting at all considering it's Airbnb and a superhost.
The bedrooms were of good size however on each and every bedroom (4 bedrooms) their weren'tany plugs near the bedside. The living room TV power cable wasn't even long enough to plug in therefore being with kids it's hard work without a tv luckily my nephew had his ipad etc.
The bathroom definately needs an uplift.
The kitchen Appliances were also basic. The washing machine looked like something of 1980s and the dryer was also the same. the power cord of the dryer was full of dust and its not really a sight you'd like to see during your breakfast. The kitchen is also where we spotted two mouse traps maybe he should place them where they're slightly hidden.
The pool table room, kind of awkward can't really play pool as the cues are bouncing off the walls.
The cleaning definately needs to do better. some people may not mind and not check but i did. Dust found in each and window sill, frames etc. would advise black out blinds also and finallynseen holds on the floor all around the house (should get this seen to asap).
My review is based on my experience, its nothing but honest. Overall, I wouldnt stay there with my family again.
