Weekend getaway

The property was beautiful and we had a wonderful stay! The only downside was the pillows were really uncomfortable & we all left with sore necks.Aside from that everything was great.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Feb, 2025
We're delighted to hear that you found the property wonderful overall. We noticed your four-star rating, which is a first for us after hosting hundreds of guests who had 5 star experiences. Your comments about the pillows caught our attention, as many of our previous guests have enjoyed the comfort of our beds and the variety of high quality pillow options available in each room. We strive to accommodate different preferences and offer additional pillows in the linen cupboard for guests’ convenience. We wondered if any discomfort you experienced may have been influenced more by the party items left at the property, rather than the pillows. If our inability to adjust rates at your request based on your reduced group size affected your satisfaction, we genuinely appreciate your understanding. Our rates reflect the entire accommodation for a luxury experience. We had hoped that the early check-in and late check-out we provided would enhance your stay. We sincerely hope your next trip aligns more closely with your budget and expectations. Wishing you all the best in your future travels.

Family Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at The Palm. The bedding and layout was great for 8 adults. Plenty of space in the living area and the kitchen. Very beautifully styled. Perfect location with the tram into the city a short walk away in one direction and the fabulous Preston Makets in the other. We will definitely book again.

Best House for a big group EVER!!!

Wow I honestly don’t have the words to describe how AMAZING this property was. First of all, if it’s even possible, the house was even MORE BEAUTIFUL and WAY bigger in person, I’m talking lifted ceilings, HUGE rooms, the house went on and on and fit my party of 12 with even more room to spare! Sally has been an AMAZING host since the beginning, so accommodating and sweet. Couldn’t recommend her more as a host! I stayed here with my friends and family of my bridal party for my wedding and it was the BEST location and just the absolute perfect spot to be able to host everyone. Everyone the whole time said it felt like we’re were absolute millionaires living our best lives in the property!! This house felt like a home and we truly had the very best stay possible. So many laughs were shared and will be in our memories forever. BOOK. THIS. HOME!!!!!!!! I hope everyone has just as an amazing experience as us xxx Em
