house being renovated so seemed rather "unconventional."

large living area with all the amenities/parking.

Stayed in May 2025

Access to the rooms were up 4 flights of stairs which is inconvenient but not an issue and you have to walk through the owners house which feels slightly intrusive but you get used to it. However the main house was a little unkept and untidy (but not dirty), they are in the long term process of doing the property up and have young kids which can obviously be messy but I do think they could take better care of the bits of the property that customers have to pass through to get to the rooms. But most of that is just nit-picking as once your in the room, it just feels like any other hotel room.

Room was nice and clean and as expected. There was a communal fridge/freezer, toaster and kettle outside the room which given I was the only customer staying at the time worked out well for me. Wi-Fi was never an issue. Overall a good visit.

Radiators in my room weren't working, a bit chilly but there was a mobile electric heater that took the chill off.

Home from home, entirely met my need for digs whilst my place was having a makeover.

Would be good if facilities (kettle) were inside room but we knew that they wouldn't be,

Brilliant location, VERY quiet. Value for money. Really comfortable bed. Shower was good and BIG! Spacious room. Facilities were outside as stated. Will be an amazing project once completed. Parking outside in large driveway (5 cars). Ease of access was great.

We struggled to find the house number in the dark so would be useful to highlight the property number for future guests. As mentioned by previous guests, the property is under renovation but this did not affect our stay.

We had the large double with an extra room with a single bed in it and a huge bathroom. There were tea and coffee facilities in the corridor and it was very spacious and exceptional value for money. Hosts gave us all the information we needed. Car parking included and we would stay again.

The house, a beautiful Victorian era build, with lots of potential, is being renovated. It is in the final throes of being finished. It was a bit of a worry at first sight, but the room and the floor we stayed in were nicely finished. We had a well finished, good-sized room with a beautiful en suite. This is not for you if you are easily put off or like complaining.

Ashbrooke is very close to the city centre, a 10-15 min walk. It is in a quiet area of the city. The owners were attentive but not in your face, a great balance. The room and the floor we stayed in were nicely finished. We had a good-sized room with a beautiful en suite. Great shower, plenty of hot water. The room and en suite were clean and tidy.

3rd time staying at the property. The owners are very friendly and very accommodating. The size of the room is amazing.

Entrance to accommodation is off-putting as it’s untidy. Insufficient ventilation. No instructions as to how to operate the shower and blinds. Water not draining in the shower and had to be sorted out. Insufficient cutlery at times. Generally, there is great potential for a lovely stay but more attention to detail is required.

Location, price and availability. Owner was reasonably responsive to our requests.

Nothing all was fantastic

Ample space, parking facilities easy walk into city centre

I was fortunate enough to be placed in the large space. It was really nice. The other rooms are equally as good, but smaller, but still big enough. Parking was good and allowed to leave the car during the day and walk into the centre. Always happy to use this facility

The Home owner was so friendly. A good reception, perfect place, everything was clean. Thank you

A real gem of a place to stay, the room was spacious, comfortable and peaceful. Tea and coffee making facilities plus a fridge outside the room. Yoko was only a call away if I needed anything.

On arrival wasn't told there was an electric blind so first night didn't sleep well as street light outside. Was rectified next day when told about the remote control for the blind. Would have liked tea making facilities in the room. No bedside light.

Nice bed and shower

The property is a beautiful period building in the equally beautiful suburb of Ashbrooke. It is conveniently located near a well serviced bus route and metro line (and if you feel like a canter, it’s only 10-12 minutes walk into the centre). The whole top floor is given over to homestay guests and I stayed in the beautiful family suite. The main room was large and spacious with a very comfortable bed, a sofa, corner desk, smart tv and some lovely ‘techie’ touches (remote controlled lights and blinds) that spoke to my inner gadget person! Off the main room there is an adjoining smaller room with a single bed, large wardrobe and drawers that have enough storage for any travelling person or family. The en-suite bathroom is stunning with the largest shower I think I’ve ever seen (the water pressure was excellent and the overhead shower was easy to use). There is tea and coffee making facilities (with a fridge and microwave) available in the landing for all guests to utilise. The bedding and towels were excellent quality. In fact, every aspect of the room was excellent quality. Communication with the owner was friendly, efficient and welcoming. I was made to feel at home immediately by Yoko! All in all, it was a lovely homestay!
