Ryan and Nadia are superb and thoughtful hosts who have made a stunning house - no wonder it has been featured in TV ads! We were a party of 8 - from grandparents to grandchildren - and the house had enough floors, living spaces, nooks and crannies to accommodate and defuse the potentially combustible mix of three generations of extended family under one roof. However, for all its pinterest-worthy touches - original Russian art, beautiful Christmas tree, working fireplace, a breathtaking open-plan extension with country kitchen, high-tech audio, and gorgeous bathrooms - it always felt warm and human. This is a perfect reflection of Ryan and Nadia themselves: cultured and impressive people yet super communicative, generous, unfussy and always ready to address any issue. This was the first time we hosted a family Christmas - so the pressure was on! - but everyone agreed that it was one of the best they could remember.
