We had a wonderful time here. There were 4 of us who met here to celebrate a 40th birthday and it was an excellent venue to do so. It is about a 10mn walk to the town center- tube station, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, etc... To get to London is about 40mn drive and a little more than that via tube. The place itself is nice, very clean and as advertised. Upstairs consists of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom while downstairs has a kitchen, common area, and a wonderful sun room that we used every morning to have breakfast. There is a small fenced-in outdoor area but it is shared (although we never once saw anyone else in the week we were there). Unfortunately we did not get to meet John as he was away at the time of our stay, but he was extremely helpful and responsive via email, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. We hope to meet him next time we stay at his property!
