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.

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!

Myself and my team of ten rented this property and the neighboring coachhouse for a weeklong coworking trip. We found this property to be very beautiful and extremely spacious. The location was a short walk to the nearest rail station and bus stop. The transit into central London did take some time (30+ minutes) but for the price and size of this property, nothing else could compare. The house has many levels including a media room, multiple dining rooms and living room areas, and two kitchens. Our team was able to work and eat together in common areas, and also retreat to other areas of the house when needed. We never felt cramped, even with our large group. The backyard and patio were lovely spaces as well. Ahead of the trip, there were periods of time that the hosts were unresponsive. Once we arrived to the property, there were some issues with working power outlets and wifi, but the hosts were quick to reply and resolve these issues. Overall, we highly recommend this property to large groups looking for a space that can accommodate everyone.

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.

Although the photos for this property are beautiful, they do not do justice to what you will experience when staying here. It was the most beautiful, fantastic, perfect house we have ever rented - and I've rented a lot of properties for our family vacations over the years. Every room was a work of art. Every bedroom perfect. We absolutely could not have asked for a better place to ground ourselves during our recent 10-day stay in London with 15 family members. There were a few tiny problems - one, the smoke alarm went off repeatedly for no reason at all. We wouldn't even be cooking anything and it would go off. Two, one of the bathrooms on the upper level - the one without the shower - had a bad odor that couldn't be identified or fixed. So we did tend to avoid that bathroom. Also, the downstairs expresso maker had been filled incorrectly by a previous tenant so could not be used. And when it rained, there were a couple of leaks on the top floor as well. But overall, it was fantastic. We had a personal chef come to the house the first night and prepare a 6-course meal for us. He found everything he needed in the downstairs kitchen for this extravaganza, and the house is so well-stocked with dishes, silverware and glasses that there were no problems serving either. There are plenty of refrigerators - they're small in comparison to the US but they worked just fine for us - one downstairs and two on the main floor. And the table on the main floor was HUGE - all 15 of us could be seated together so that was wonderful too. It was a great way to start the vacation. The gathering rooms were perfect for the group as well. In other houses it's often a problem to find seating for 15 people in one room, but it's not a problem in this house. At the end of each exhausting day full of excursions and sight-seeing, we could meet for drinks and talk about the day. Again, just wonderful. We rented two large vans for our group, and parking was ample for both. We used the vans to get to the train station, - about a 20 minute walk, so decided we'd be too tired at the end of the day for that, so got the vans. The house is also walking distance to a local grocery store. So again, just perfect. Communicating with the owner was simple and they always answered promptly. There were no surprises - the TVs worked, the WIFI worked, everything worked! Hopefully I have conveyed how fantastic this house was! If you're considering renting it, DO IT! :)

Our family and a couple friends spent 15 days at this property. On day 1 everyone spent the first two hours walking around the house and facetiming images to their friends and family back home. The home is a masterpiece; decor is incredibly beautiful yet the home is very accomodating and comfortable. We prepared large family meals in the two well-appointed kitchens, which are stocked with everything a gourmand would need. There are numerous areas to congregate or to get away from others, and the grounds are stunning. We rented a car, but two train stations are within .5 to .75 miles, as are grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The trains run directly to London Bridge Station and Victoria Station, and those can get you literally anywhere you want to go - quickly and easily. The home has five levels and many stairs, so may not be ideal for someone with mobility issues. Balconies allowed us to watch foxes laze in the yard and gorgeous sunsets in the English countryside. We are coming back, if the owners will have us. Thank you!
