The biggest negative about James's place is that it's a lot older than it seems in the photos (which I'm assuming were taken a while back?). As a result, I was a bit surprised at the cracks in the walls, a garden that's clearly not been cleaned in a while, a few loose floorboards, etc. There were also a lot of cobwebs and spiders in the corners of the house and in a few kitchen cabinets. However, I texted James my complaints and he immediately sent over a cleaner to clean the whole house, and this level of hospitality was present throughout our whole stay. Overall, though, this is great value for your money -- the house is huge, the heating heats the whole place at once, and the location is amazing (wonderful park next door, short walk to a high street, bus stops just a few meters from the front door).
