Disappointing

Had to endure the stay of 20 nights as I had made a non refundable booking. Misleading advert.

Breackfast average. Location very good

Advert was misleading. I booked a self catering apartment with private kitchen, dinning room etc. Was surprised when I arrived and found out I only had a room with private bathroom. Everything else I had to share with the owners and other people, including the noise of 2 parties held by the owners during our stay. No TV channels, except for Aljazeera and Netflix but the internet was down so many times that we could not even watch these 2 channels. Extremely expensive. .

Sam and his staff were perfect hosts! They were friendly, accommodating and I did not feel like a stranger in their home. The atmosphere was really quiet, which allowed a great working environment.

Very good

I loved the bed, the shower, and the option of having the bar fridge with access to coffee/tea. The hospitality of the hosts.

The bathroom 'wall' was made of stained glass with visibility to others from the passage. The feeling of insecurity of people being able to 'see' you moving around. Maybe a wall feature on the stain? Out of your control - I come from a quiet neighborhood so the late night traffic and the neighbors alarm going off made sleeping disrupted. I didn't close the window to check if it was sound proof come to think of it.

Value for money stay

The place was clean and the host was very hospitable... Loved the dogs and the environment. This is a place to stay at for more than one day if you want to experience it properly. I unfortunately was there so that I can catch my morning flight. But I honestly loved it.

There's nothing I disliked

Relaxed friendly stay.

Wonderful hosts, great guests to chat to. Sam and family are just great. Great to know there is solar power during power outages at Houghton Place, which is great. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable bed. Lovely friendly dogs :)

The Wi-Fi was slow. I'm not sure if it was the Wi-Fi suppliers' issue, as I also found local data connections very slow too.

This place is perfect. Beautifully kept, great facilities. Sam and all of the staff (including the two labradors) are a delight and extremely accommodating. Breakfast was lovely, thank you Patricia! Great location, can't fault this place at all.
