We had a wonderful weekend in the house, it was perfect for us. There were 6 adults and there was plenty of room to either sit and talk around the dining room table or to chill out and read in the sitting room.

We didn't actually meet Helen, the hostess, but she communicated clearly via email and text messaging so we knew exactly how to access the house before we left home.

I knew the area before I booked, and it was handy for Wanstead village where we spent most of the day on the Saturday.

The street was very quiet. Car parking was easy, we managed to park two cars right outside the house for the whole weekend.

The garden looked good but unfortunately the weather was bad whilst we were there (July 2015) so we didn't make much use of it.

We ate in on both evenings and it was great to find there was plenty of kitchen equipment and basic ingredients in the cupboards which Helen advised we could use. The house itself was spotless, the bed I slept in was very comfortable and the bedroom was spacious (it was the largest one). There was additional bedding available and plenty of clean towels.

The ad does not show how large the place is, we were pleasantly surprised by the space we had.

I would definitely recommend this house to others and would be happy to stay there again.
