Excellent Property. Area mixed!
The property is spacious and the beds comfortable. It is clearly used as a photo shoot location so is very elegant to look at. Some things do not work. No bulbs in some bedside lights. Were we supposed to bring our own? A bath in a bedroom that is just for show. No stereo as advertised in the details. A booklet in the property with wifi details etc. included would help and save me a call to the owner.The house next door has garbage all over the driveway. Abandoned shopping trolley etc. Nearest restaurant is 1.5 mile to walk to. Small grocery store about 1 mile away. Overall though a very good property and experience.

Fabulous family home
Thirteen of us stayed in this beautifully decorated and welcoming home for the Christmas holidays. Each bedroom, bathroom, dining space, and sitting area was elaborately decorated and lovely, but gave very little space for stowing personal items. The kitchens were fully stocked with the things we needed for cooking large family meals. We found everything we needed in the neighborhood on a daily basis so if your holiday is more about staying put and enjoying family time, this home is perfect for you. The commute into London is a bit long, so account for that when making plans. Our family loved staying here and I think yours will too.

Bespoke Residence
This home exceeds expectations!! A truly beautiful residence! One challenge is that Croyden is not connected to the Underground. There was difficulty, time to time, obtaining an Uber into London and back, especially in the evening! However, this was a minuscule inconvenience because this amazing home outweighed any logistics!

Magical and Elegant Family Vacation Castle
This place is absolutely gorgeous! Traveled with three elderly, 2 infants, 2 toddlers, and 4 adults. There was more than enough room for everyone and check in check out was a breeze. Beautiful local park very close by for morning walks. Also recommend uber eats or any other app to bring you local groceries. Safe neighborhood and walking distance to metro. The details of this place are magnificent and you'll spend much of your time appreciating your home for however long you are staying. Would recommend to anyone and would be a dream to come back.
