    Kitchen wasn't very clean. Previous occupants (and hosts) had not cleaned the pots, baking trays, and oven and cupboards need a deep clean. Had to wash everything before cooking!

    A nice little house with good size comfortable rooms. Good value for money. Tea/coffee making provided.

    It was very comfortable. The sofa was probably my favourite thing, perfect for watching TV on a very wet weekend! Coffee machine was fantastic. I could have stayed for longer quite happily to explore the area. Garden was a wonderful little sun trap on our arrival. My daughter adored the reclining seat upstairs, I couldn't get her out of it. And if you are staying for longer there is plenty of space for clothes. The host gave us details to access the property in plenty of time and it smelled clean and fresh on arrival. Area was also nice and quiet. Morrisons less than five minutes walk away through the park. Really good access to the town and railway station. Host was also available in case of any problems but we were perfectly happy.

    Back door was difficult to lock, noisy floorboards upstairs and a few minor maintenance issues are all that stopped me giving a 10/10

    The refrigerator could have been cleaned between guests. And the upstairs floorboards are very loud and creaky. Personally for us the bed was a little small (our fault it was correctly described) but as I said we prefer a king size, and my wife felt it was an little uncomfortable. For me though the big issue was the stairs, they are steep with deep risers and I am 69 years old with dodgy knees and hips. Also there were no instructions for the boiler that I could find. We eventually worked it out but the chance to get it wrong and maybe cause damage is high, and the shower was cold so maybe we didn’t get it fully right.

    Nice location with comfortable downstairs furniture, and layout. Back yard was a nice sun trap.

    The main thing was that the bathroom door doesn't close which causes anxiety when sat on the loo or naked! No tea towels to dry up. A bit grubby around the edges with random articles popped into kitchen cupboards (kind of out of sight out of mind). Nothing major apart from the door but those small details that could easily be rectified to take the property "up a level". For the price we paid we are not complaining but just answering honestly.

    The location was fine. The price was good. Immediate response to a phone call from us. Comfortable. Good size rooms. Coffee and tea and jam provided.

    All trivial things. Cooker was a bit hard to use and there was no frying pan but worked round both. Could've done with another tea-towel which is the one thing we didn't bring with us. And couldn't find any pepper. Nothing that affected our stay, overall.

    House was really nice and comfortable. Loads of storage space. Location was handy. On road parking was available. There were loads of cleaning supplies, condiments, teabags etc.

    No-one had cleaned the mould from the washing machine seal, or given the fridge door trays a good clean, and I did this before using the appliances, otherwise I would have given a higher rating.

    The house was very neatly furnished, most of it modern, the heating/hot water worked well and the double bed was very comfortable. Nice touches were the tea and coffee provided in the kitchen, and toiletries provided in the bathroom. The house was overall very clean and well presented.

    Could do with a damn good clean. I had to clean the worktops, hob and pot stands before I used anything as they were dirty. The floor obviously hadn't been cleaned in a while. I hoover the lounge but there was stuff that had been left between the settees. The hoover was full of dust. The bathroom could have done with a proper clean as well. The banister hadn't been cleaned and was sticky to the touch so that go a wipe down to.

    The settee and bed were comfortable. Bedding and towls clean. Location as we were able to walk to Kynren. Location to town was also walkable. Washing machine worked well.

    The place was very poor, we couldn't stand it and left after only one of the nights out of the three we paid for. The place was overpowered by the plug-in air fresheners in the lounge, bathroom and main bedroom. Even with all the windows open we both had disturbed sleep due to the smell and woke up with sore throat and eyes. The property was in a poor state of cleanliness the skirting boards looked like they hadn't been cleaned for months, and the kitchen and bathroom floors were dirty. There was a builld up of dust on window sills and the bathroom radiator. In the kitchen the cupboards were unclean, utensil tray greasy and there were coffee/red wine/tea? spills on door frames. The small enclosed garden had rusty old furniture and two lounge chairs thrown over the back wall. Not a welcoming, inviting place to stay; a complete waste of our money.

    The property was close to bus stops (£1 to Escomb, the site of the oldest Saxon church in England), close to railway station.

    Black mould everywhere! The worst area was in the cupboard in the bedroom I went to put my case in there and there was a big bag of folded towels resting against a disgustingly mouldy wall. So the towels I’d used to dry with had been stored directly with black mould. The bathroom door also didn’t close which was very worrying when we needed to use the bathroom. Carpet on stairs was vile. Dirty mugs. Dust all over. Back door wouldn’t lock

    No real bad bits, unless you wanted a fancy garden, but that wasn't something we required during our stay. It does have a backyard for smoking though, so that's a plus!

    Property was really well equipped with anything you might need for a short or long stay. Parking was accessible at all hours of the day and the handover of keys was contactless and seamlessly easy. Really pleasant owner. For it's age, cannot fault it, it will easily do a family of 4 or 5 and highly recommended. Really quiet location, but close enough to supermarkets, etc.

    Only one toilet.

    The owner was welcoming from the start, nothing was too much trouble. Street parking right in front of the property was a godsend as most big hotels charge you for parking as well. We couldn’t fault it at all. Was excellent for what we needed. Returning customers, booked 3 more times since the first visit. Excellent value for money.
