Good choice for our weekend
Positive: Location good. Spacious and comfortable house for 7, management team very helpful in sorting problems. Easy parking, good neighbourhood.
There is a downstairs toilet which isn’t clear in the information but essential if lots of you staying!
Negative: No towels left for three of us- problem solved quickly even though after office hours on Friday.
One of the upstairs bedrooms has a 3/4 size bed incorrectly listed as a double. No good if 8 staying.
Cooker hob and grill/oven pans were filthy- needed to be cleaned before use.
Bathrooms spotless but generally house needed a good clean - windows, ornaments, shelves etc dusty/dirty. Outside rubbish bin full and obviously hadn’t been emptied for some time. Drive area needed sweeping.
Reported a drains problem- dishwasher water bubbled up in sink.
Nowhere to hang clothes in three of the bedrooms.

Quiet, cosy and perfect for a larger family.
Positive: Lovely house in a quiet location. Double drive was perfect for two smaller cars and plenty of on street parking. Rooms all good sizes and bedding/towels clean. Very easy to access the property and hosts were very helpful! Very good price and only 9 minute drive from city centre.
Negative: Few of the kitchen accessories need replacing-minor detail.

Great opportunity for 4 friends to have their first 48 hour trip away, with plenty of communal space
Positive: Owner replied promptly to requests and very helpful on an earlier check in time.
4 bedrooms meant we had a room each
Washing up/ dishwasher tablets appreciated
Good towels and bedding
Very spacious, say to use appliances and tv
Negative: Instructions for rubbish/ recycling are out of date in book, and quite a lot of rubbish is piled up along side of property.
Top, front bedroom smells quite musty and irritated the throat of person who slept in there causing her to be congested and coughing.
Hole in ceiling of front, downstairs bedroom.
Sinks, shower, drains etc were quite smelly when we arrived, presumably from not being used for a while? Once being used the smell went.

Soggiorno a Cardiff in zona residenziale
Positive: Bella casa in stile inglese in tranquilla zona residenziale. Tutto il necessario presente. Comunicazione ed accoglienza virtuale molto precisa e puntuale.

Best place we’ve stayed in during our UK trip so far.
Positive: Nice quiet neighborhood. House is great. It was a comfortable stay. Large well-stocked kitchen. Private driveway. Good location. Just a short bus ride to the center of town.
Negative: There was no working freezer. There was a washing machine but nothing to hang clothes on to dry. They need fans in bedrooms for hot days.
Good to know
