Beautifully Kept. Our host was friendly and helpful. It's in a great area with Oxford St, Orchard Road shops and a nice walk down to the river and Sea cats. :)

This is a very nicely presented property. For a one night stay it maybe fine for some but for longer stays, like ours, we found the property lacking. Big issue was there are no windows, just doors and without screens, flies or mosquitoes can come in. The bathroom has a very small window and no screen which doesn’t provide any ventilation to the master room. A ceiling fan would help. Since the room we had faces the street, one can’t leave the doors open for security reasons if nothing else and we tried it but the mosquitos were having a feast and to sleep you have to close them anyway. Can’t hear the TV with the doors open. The street noise is an issue as this is on a main drag. The cooler temperatures this time of year one needs to hang towels out to dry. No facility to do that. The line outside always had sheets or something on the line so we couldn’t air/dry our towel out there. The very small towel rack in the bathroom couldn’t fit one of the towels, let alone two. A drying rack for the guests would be good. The self serve/clean up continental breakfast was okay, but “the everyone can dip into the jams with butter on their knives” is not for me. Individual packaging would be more appropriate in these times. Our hosts were very nice and I’m sure they would have tried to make us more comfortable but these things require more time than we had there if they were considering making any improvements.

We’re so sorry you were not completely delighted with your experience. We always ask our customers, at check-in, to immediately let us know if there is anything they need or are unhappy about, so your comments have taken us by surprise. Had you mentioned the towel problem we would have told you there were four extra towels in the bathroom right under the hand basin and we could have easily provided drying racks or space on the clothesline just outside your bathroom. There is no ceiling fan however there is a terrific A/C in the room. Brian sprays the garden for mosquitoes but at present, in winter, we could not find any - however, we do know some people are very sensitive to mosquitoes. No one has ever complained about the quantity or the condition of the many jams, butter, spreads, we provide, but since you are concerned about this we have taken this on board and have now provided, in addition, little sealed packs of all the different spreads. The towel rack is slim but it has two rails and so it is designed and fits two towels ok, in addition, there is a big double stainless steel hook right next to it for additional hanging space right opposite the shower. We are taking your whole drying issue on board and getting a heated towel rail for this room also. Finally, you mentioned that this, lower-cost room of our two, is at the front of the house and Riding Rd can be busy at times, however, the room has hush glass in the two floor to ceiling bi-folds, a view out to a beautiful garden (we are told) a deck with comfortable seating, lawn, a large fountain and a huge hedge which provides total privacy. I hope that these changes we make will improve our accommodation even more.
