Overall the stay was okay, we booked last minute for a large party of people. Ideally we would’ve stayed in central London. Everything was very clean and tidy, the hosts just forgot to check in some of the cupboards and draws as there were personal affects from previous guests. There was also a stagnant water smell that is very unpleasant but this is not a superficial problem. Opening the kitchen door to them balcony helps.
The downside is the location, it is great for the station however we drove down and were advised of the parking near the station which is permanently full due to its price being so cheap, so it took us over an hour and a half and a 2 mike search radius to find somewhere to park that wasn’t permitted to residents only. So I recommend no cars if you’re staying here.
One thing that disappointed me was the request for a 5-star review. I understand that this is a family run business, and you count on this as your income, but it’s not right to try and make a guest leave a good review, it needs to be honest so that future guests don’t have a distorted view of where they are staying.
