Unfortunately, we are unable to recommend this property and we would not stay at it again.
We booked this property for several months when we returned to U.K. for the birth of our second child with a written agreement - before booking - that we could have first refusal on extending our stay. However, a few days before our baby was due to be born, the host inadvertently accepted a booking from another user - despite separately committing to us that we could extend our reservation - and informed us that we would need to move out of the property just days after our baby was due to be born. This put our family at risk of having nowhere to live. The host was more concerned that their “superhost” status would be jeopardised by cancelling the other user’s reservation than they were with the real life consequences on us. It was only when my husband and I took this issue up with Airbnb that the situation was resolved - 4 hours before our baby was born! It is difficult to convey the stress and distress this caused us at a really important time for our family. We were left with a sense that the host was indifferent to the impact on us and we were acutely aware that - had we not asked Airbnb to intervene - we would have been left with nowhere to live just a few days after our baby was born.
On a more practical note, we found the house quite a lot smaller than it appeared in the pictures and would not recommend it for a long stay - all upstairs cupboards and a significant number of the downstairs cupboards were locked and the hosts were unwilling to provide access to any of these despite our requests. There was only one chest of drawers across three bedrooms and this meant that we could not unpack properly during our 10 week stay.
This is a well-equipped family home in a nice location but it did not provide the comfortable and peaceful stay we were looking for at this important time.
