When I arrived on the Monday the kitchen was a mess with unwashed plates and bins full. This only got worse through the week with bins overflowing with food by the Friday. I did clean up after I used anything, but clearly nobody else did and there is no cleaner coming in either, which is not great when places like this should be increasing their cleaning. There is no tv, only Netflix and this didn’t work in my room. When I reported this I was told the cleaner would look at the problem the following day, but since the cleaner never showed up all week, the problem was never fixed. I was booked in the following week but cancelled as there is no way I would stop again.

Hi Pete, Thank you for your review and feedback. I'm sorry you had this experience with the dishes. We are actually in the process of adding inspections to make sure things like that don't get missed in future by the cleaners. We have Netflix in the rooms as you say but no terrestrial TV. We'll give that some consideration as it wouldn't be hugely difficult to introduce.

Great value and location.
Great value for money. Excellent kitchen facilities. Easy parking and good access to town. It is fairly basic (would have liked a chair of some sort in the bedroom) but for the price, convenience, and just being in a house rather than a hotel (more home-from-home'ish!) I would happily stay again. Great to have Netflix, too. And pleasant to have a garden 8f the weather is nice.

Excellent value for money comfortable stay
I needed an inexpensive place for a night to catch up with an old friend in Woking and this was an excellent choice... 30 mins walk and all the basics you'd want and a cracking price! Ensuite bathroom, clean comfy small room, basics provided in shared house, use of the garden, free parking - recommended!

Very good contact via whatsap, very quick to respond and fix any issues. Decent stay and decent value for money on the whole. Couple of downsides: Having stayed in a few different ones, the rooms vary a lot in size/quality - should be priced accordingly or upgraded accordingly. Upstairs landing very squeaky floorboards and old school door locks so noise travels very easily. Luckily most residents respect the "quiet" rules so it works well but on the odd occasions there was noise, it was like it was directly in your room. For longer stays cleaner doesn't clean room, I washed my own towels and bedding. Kitchen facilities (even basic cereal/milk/tea bags as advertised and postered in the house) very hit and miss in terms of availability. For eg. No tea bags for 5 days and then some milk/cereal was off. Not a big issue but shows theres no system in place to restock things

Hi, thank you for your valuable and honest feedback it is really appreciated. I'm glad your stay overall was good. We do actually have a system in place to replace tea bags and milk, however it would appear it didn't get executed during the time of your stay. We recently started having an inspection to check this type of thing is taking place on a regular basis and check the standards aren't dropping so going forward this shouldn't be a problem. For longer stays we would normally be in touch with you to check for a linen change each week so I'll look into that.

Close to Woking station, clean room and nice bathroom. Bathroom is shared so expect all the issues that come with that....having to wait while someone showers and all the rest. Shower only had one setting....boiling hot so prepare to be burnt

Hi Tariq, Thank you for the feedback. We actually only have three rooms which are shared bathroom, the rest are en suite so feel free to get in touch if you want to book an en suite next time. Also for future reference, the shower and bathroom are relatively new and is a thermostatic mixer which has dial you just have to twist it to adjust the temperature. Kind Regards

Clean, tidy, effort was there but doors were noisy
Lovely host, gave all information needed upfront, came across as welcoming and pleasant despite not meeting face to face. Nice touches added like breakfast items available, chocolates on the bed, eye mask should you want one. The only reason for giving this a moderate rating is the noise from other guests. Not that I could hear them talking or their TV sets but the doors are very noisy, the front door shutting, internal doors and the bathroom door too. Despite receiving a text saying check in was between 2-10pm one guest arrived at 11pm and woke me with the doors slamming and then showering. Looking for a place to stay most weeks in Woking but a good nights sleep is a must for early meetings. Room was clean and location was great but wouldn't stay again unless doors were fixed to be less noisy.

Hi Katie, Thank you for the clear and kind feedback. I'm happy you enjoyed your stay with the exception of the noisy doors. I'll look into something to resolve that. I expect there will be a dampening strip that can be placed inside the frames but I'll do some digging and get that sorted out. Its not often we get such a detailed review so thank you for putting the effort in. We look forward to having you again after we've put something in place :) Kind Regards

Could be good with a bit more TLC
Okay for a one night as a last minute stay. Owner communicated key instructions and room position prior to arrival via wotsap. The house is in a fairly quiet road in a residential street Kerb appeal isn’t great - dodge the nettles & weeds by the door. Brads room is very small double the bed pushed to the wall drop leaf table cabinet & built in cupboard. Mattress is foam & not comfy. Shared Bathroom was smart & tidy towels and linen were also clean. Kitchen was fairly newly fitted with lots of machines mainly for washing/drying laundry & an over spilling uncovered laundry basket with dirty bed linen which was not pleasant. Crockery was mismatched and no wine glasses to use. A sign on the cupboard said help yourself to breakfast. Dregs of milk in odd bottles mainly out of date. No butter & the bread in the fridge was dry and one even a month out of date. One guest was ready to leave as he had no tv remote in his room.. No human contact but owner uses wotsap to communicate. We Informed him of lack of breakfast supplies milk coffee etc just after we checked in. Nothing was forthcoming -we were told at 11 am the next day a housekeeper would replenish supplies. Not really acceptable. As we checked out a woman arrived with margarine milk coffee & yet more cereals. Think owner needs to keep a closer eye on things as with a little more attention it could be very good.

Thank you for the amazing review. It's not often we get such well considered and clear feedback. We've been going for a few months now and there's definitely room for us to improve. We're going to start a daily check on the milk and cereal levels following this, along with a weekly clear out of the fridges if things are not in date I'll also purchase some wine glasses and purchase a bit of new crockery. Thanks again and I hope you stay again at some point to see the improvement.

No smoke alarm in bedroom. Not all doors are fire doors. Kitchen dirty. Decor non existent. No T.V. remote. Pity the property isn't all like the bathroom.

Hi Murray, thank you for the feedback. If you have any issues in the future please get in touch with us directly. We actually have a couple of spare universal remotes because they've gone walkies before. We've actually put quite a bit of effort into the decor recently with the pictures and the paintings but we'll take this on board and go further to making it an even more pleasant environment. The kitchen is cleaned almost daily and we have a bi weekly deep clean but unfortunately we cant guarantee all guests are as respectable since it's a shared kitchen. With regards to fire safety we take this very seriously. All the bedroom doors are fire doors rated 30 mins with intumesant strips all round. We also have a mains wired smoke alarm and nest carbon monoxide detector. We also have the appropriate opening mechanisms on all the windows. We're also in the process of getting quotes for a fully linked system in each room whilst making things more explicit in terms of direction to exits. Thanks again for your feedback its helpful for us to improve.
