The house was great. We were a group of 8 two families. We had friends over too and there was plenty of room for everyone. The space is great and in summer the outside space looks like it would be good. Parkings great. Will definitely use again. Only negative was the pillows are very thin on the kids beds extra pillows would be nice. The host gave lots of help and info.

Amazing home, loads of room and great outdoors area for the dog. We had a problem with the hot water and Ben was immediately on the case and kept us informed every step of the way until it was resolved with a replacement part. The property was lovely and warm, infact so warm we never lit the log burner despite being there in January. We were totally in awe of the underfloor heating in the kitchen too. Within walking distance is a Spar, friendly pubs and chippy. Would happily recommend Kingswood to others
