Coworking trip
Myself and my team of ten rented this property and the neighboring coachhouse for a weeklong coworking trip. We found this property to be very beautiful and extremely spacious. The location was a short walk to the nearest rail station and bus stop. The transit into central London did take some time (30+ minutes) but for the price and size of this property, nothing else could compare. The house has many levels including a media room, multiple dining rooms and living room areas, and two kitchens. Our team was able to work and eat together in common areas, and also retreat to other areas of the house when needed. We never felt cramped, even with our large group. The backyard and patio were lovely spaces as well. Ahead of the trip, there were periods of time that the hosts were unresponsive. Once we arrived to the property, there were some issues with working power outlets and wifi, but the hosts were quick to reply and resolve these issues. Overall, we highly recommend this property to large groups looking for a space that can accommodate everyone.

A Truly Fabulous House
A family group stayed here for 5 nights over Christmas. The house is fabulous. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We've stayed in some lovely houses before but this was so well styled and the owner clearly has great taste. I would definitely recommend this. The area outside is not the best but we knew what to expect. We wanted to be in South London so we could all meet centrally. There was ample parking for our 5 cars. The house had everything you could need. The only downside was that when we first arrived the house was very cold and took a while to warm up but after the first 24 hours it was fine. The upstairs floor needed heaters to keep it warmer but these were provdied. An amazing house - no wonder it has won awards!

A fabulous property with everything we needed
Honestly, the photos, whilst beautiful do not do this amazing house justice! Filled with luxury furnishings and amazing details in every room, this is an 'instagrammable' place to stay! There really was every possible thing you could need and the layout and space is just amazing. Bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Even though 15 of us stayed, there was plenty of space for privacy if needed. We mostly used the downstairs basement living areas but on our last night used the amazing dining room and booked a chef to come in and cook dinner for us - it truly was a fabulous experience. The communication with the owners is excellent too. Thank you for letting us stay in your amazing house, we really appreciated it.

House was lovely, shame about the customer service & booking process - be prepared for cancellations
I booked this house for a group of ladies to get together. Unfortunately after having a booking confirmed for several weeks last minute my booking was cancelled. For me to try and re book a house for 17 ladies 2 days before our trip would prove difficult. We last minute got this house with the same host and company which was beautiful. However our weekend consisted of the host contacting us on several occasions and asking us to plug the wifi in so they can monitor the sound level and noise. We found this an invasion of our privacy as well as being rather big brother like. The first evening there were apparent noise complaints which we admit as a group of 17 ladies we may have been loud (but don’t accept a big group booking if you’re conscious of this) The second day the host contacted me twice to plug the wifi in, it was accidentally unplugged to charge a mobile phone as we didn’t need the wifi and at this point- this was before we were aware that it monitored the sound. If we didn’t plug the wifi back in the owner said they would send maintenance round to attend to it ASAP. We were out the whole day and evening and we kept getting calls from the owner to keep the noise down even when the house was empty. This stress was inconvenient and ruined our meant to be “relaxing” stay. Finally on our last day we cleaned the house, washed up and put both dishwashers on with the dirty dishes. We took all the rubbish and recycling out and even ordered more toilet roll for the next guests as we had used the small amounts they had provided. We locked up and ensured the floors had been swept and all bedrooms were left acceptable. We also provided further pantry items such as oil, pasta and un opened cereal for future guests. We got hit with an extra cleaning bill as there was dirty laundry and the beds hadn’t been made. If there were strict ways on how to leave the property this was not explained or no instructions left anywhere in the house. I am still contesting this fee as I believe this is a form of getting more money out of people and is unacceptable to complain when the place was left in a respectable state. It’s a shame as the house is lovely and there’s such a potential but for an owner who is so precious about noise they shouldn’t accept group bookings.

Fab stay
An amazing property…. Ideal for us. We travelled as a group of 15 females for a short break to London, just wish we had longer to spend more time at the house. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space. I can highly recommend this accommodation and would use it again.
