Beautiful castle and comfortable room. While it might take a bit of a journey to get from London to here, it's well worth it. Wendy and Simon are great hosts and their home is simply gorgeous. Do take advantage of the meals offered as they were quite tasty! At the Kirkby Stephen rail station you cannot pick up tickets. This is important to note as tickets not purchased in advance online are much more expensive. Do yourself a favour if coming by rail and buy a return ticket and pick them both up at Leeds when you make the change if coming from London.

We came to England and started our journey in Cumbria for our 31st wedding anniversary. For my husband Dennis and I it was a trip of a lifetime, one we planned for for years. Planning was hard but fate bought us to the ABnB site of Wendy and Simon. The most amazing and the true way to see the English countryside is just stay at Augill Castle l!! Start with your check in and as guests of Wendy and Simon you can plan English breakfast, teas and plates anytime you arrive (within reason of course.)The staff are amazing paying attention to you, making you feel as if you are the owners and not just a guest. We have been to Manchester and London and even though we saw the sights and checked off many items on our bucket list the best and brightest of Englands stars of hospitality and Olde English experience shines in the Castle Augill in Cumbria. Trust me when I say it is everything you've ever dreamed of and more, no hustle, no bustle, just beautiful English countryside, wonderful food and who doesn't want to feel like a King and Queen for a day or 2 or 7!!! Spend your time here you will love it!!

Wendy was a delight as was our stay at augill castle. Our first impressions were one of awe as we pulled into the drive and we were not disappointed. The room was comfortable, warm and inviting as were the staff. We really felt at home at augill castle and will definitely visit again

Real deal castle with amazing rooms and hosts.

Amazing. We will come back for sure!!

Wonderful place to experience UK. And there are lots of interesting collections, it's really amazing.

Had an absolutely fantastic 2 nights at augill Castle, a truly memorable break away from the rush that is life. Felt at ease and relaxed from the moment we arrived making full use of the bar and relaxing by the fire. Already planning a return for the summer. Thanks to Simon and Wendy and all the staff :)

城堡很美,感受到十八世纪英国贵族生活,房间里装饰华美,值得入住

We loved our stay at the windmill. From the moment we arrived Clare was extremely hospitable from the small touches of fresh eggs, homemade bread, fruit and milk that was left for us, to her sharing of the knowledge of the windmill and local area. You'll not want to leave this oasis of calm. Thanks again Clare!

Our stay in the The Windmill was an absolute delight ! So completely gorgeously renovated it was a real treat. The host Clare was lovely , and very easy to communicate with when arranging our visit. We were greeted with a lovely cold Prosecco and beer on the balcony which was just perfect on the hot sunny day and a nice start to our chilled couple of days ! The location was great too for visiting Rye, Battle and Camber Sands ( although we were keen to get back and enjoy sitting watching the sun go down from the Windmill) We shall be recommending it to our family and friends.

Amazing location, perfect for a quiet relaxing weekend away. The other reviews don't lie -- it really is one of the best AirBnb's we have ever stayed at!

We have stayed at Clares windmill for 3 nights and have had the most amazing time. It is such a wonderful place, restored with so much love to detail and design. Clare is a wonderful host and her little welcome basked with eggs, bread and fruits from her garden made us feel at home in a second. What a special place to stay- we will definitely be back ;-) Thank you so much Clare for everything!

This is a really special place that I would book again in a heartbeat. Clare made us feel instantly welcome and we were left to enjoy the windmill for a long weekend. The three floors have been converted beautifully, I took lots of inspiration for redecorating my bathroom (sadly not in a windmill) and loved sitting by the fire watching films, the huge bedroom, roll top bath and all the original features that I wish I has asked more about! Every detail has been thought of, we didn't want to leave - the perfect winter escape.

You wouldn't think it is possible but the Windmill is even more beautiful than the photographs suggest. Clare has done a fantastic of renovating the windmill and has considered every last detail. Its a brilliant place to relax.

Thank you so much Claire for having us stay. It was much needed and the accommodation was amazing! We have been recommending it to friends and family. I wish our stay had been for longer and I'm sure we will be back.

Our stay in the Old Smock Windmill was incredible! The mill itself is just a stunning, well considered piece of renovation work and a lovely peaceful space to relax in. Coupled with a lovely host who gave us a warm welcome on arrival, some good local knowledge, and most importantly some amazing fresh eggs ad home-made bread - this is just an AWESOME AirBnB spot.

We are very happy about the time that we were able to spend in Bea's and Frans' little cosy cabin. For us it has been the most attractive stay in the Netherlands. We had hoped to find some relaxation and actually found a piece of paradise. You have a wonderful garden full of flowers and a little brook burbling along the cabin - the perfect romantic idyll for a couple in love. We always felt safe and sound and unobserved in spite of the big windows. On the contrary - we enjoyed the beautiful sun and moon-view and the spectecular garden surrounding the cabin. The oven gave us a feeling of cosiness on highest level. You as hosts were very friendly, discrete and well organised. Thank you very much for opening your special garden house for us. And thank you as well for offering us your bikes. So we could discover the region around Ermelo - such as the Heideland and its honey scent.

Our stay at the charming garden room was a very pleasant experience. Bea and Frans gave us a warm welcome and surprised us with a beautiful bunch of flowers out of their own garden. The room is very cosy with a lot of sweet and surprising details. Everything was as descripted in the profile and very comfortable. The atmosphere of the garden was beautiful. Our hosts were also very helpful with information about the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

Everything was wonderful as the photo shows, we had all we needed during the stay! We enjoyed very much staying in the garden house, enjoyed the privacy we had, enjoyed having dinner in the garden, enjoyed waking up in the morning with the birds singing :) thank you Bea and Frans for making our trip memorable! :)

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to be the first guests of Bea and Frans, and they were great! The garden house is super cozy and perfect in warm or cold weather. As they say in the profile, the toilet and shower are inside but this isn't an inconvenience at all as you're so close. The garden house is made entirely of wood so it smells great!! And the surrounding garden is beautiful. Long story short, we had a fantastic time! The area is beautiful with so much to do. The house itself was great, and Bea and Frans were wonderful hosts- very helpful, informative, and great to just chat with :) I highly suggest staying here!

Bea and Frans were very warm and welcoming. They were helpful about answering our questions before our arrival.

We really enjoyed this vacation! Bea & Frans absolutely are such awesome people! we loved everything! the gardenroom is simply beautiful and the bed is very very comfortable. the beach in ermelo isnt too far. so this is the perfect range for a vacation. We also loved the little suprise breakfast by Bea&Frans! This was so cute (: from the bottom of our hearts. thank you so much for this perfect vacation! Be blessed! - Lucie & Johannes

Bea en Frans hebben ons zeer goed verwelkomd tijdens het lange weekendje weg. De fotos zijn waarheidsgetrouw en geven een goed beeld van het verblijf. Mochten we weer in Ermelo zijn om te overnachten zullen we zeker weer kijken of dit huisje beschikbaar is!

It was a really unique airbnb experience! The wooden cabin was cosy and comfortable. The best part was waking up with the garden view, and you can hear the chickens and birds outside. It was beautiful! Just slight inconvenience that we had to go out of the cabin to shower. But they provide a small chemical toilet if you need to use the toilet at night. Beas and Frans were very friendly and helpful. They made our stay very enjoyable.

Calim made us fell very welcome. The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos and best of all the bed was long enough for my 191 cm (6'3 1/2") height. We highly recommend it. The bath was a bonus.

The pictures don't lie: the flat is exactly as it is in the pictures. It gives you a "welcome at home" feeling in an exceptional neighborhood. Wifi worked super, tasteful pottery and anything you need in the kitchen. Overall it has a warm atmosphere. Calim guided us with lots of useful tips through our stay; we felt really welcome!

This place is a little corner of heaven, and it outdoes even a delightful town like Edinburgh. We truly came to rest and breathe here, and the bed-inside-the-library offers a peace you certainly wouldn't expect in the middle of the Royal Mile. Calim welcomed us with a glass of wine and candlelight ready in the apartment, and my only regret is that we did not have more time to get to know him. Creating a balanced, beautiful home like this takes a certain personality, and we were very honoured to be his guests.

Calim was a fabulous and the flat was phenomenal - really. It looks like something from a magazine spread. Calim met us at the flat and made us tea while checking that we didn't need anything before taking off. Also, we brought our toddler with us and though we had told Calim that we were fine with having her sleep with us, he found a small bed for her. Lovely! Calim was very responsive and communicative leading up to our visit. As for the flat, again, it was gorgeous and so tasteful. The location cannot be beat - an easy walk from the train station and only about a block from the castle. Though on the main drag, the flat was very quiet - especially once you are shut inside the cozy bed nook. Very clean. Very cozy. One of the best places we have stayed!

Calim is a great host and really goes out of his way to make staying at his apartment a stellar experience. Not only has he created a truly interesting and beautiful place to stay, and is continuing to add to it, but he also ensured our comfort with fresh staples (coffee, tea, juice, milk, bread, condiments) which made waking up in the apt. every morning so much better. We arrived a bit early and came over to drop off our bags while Calim was still cleaning up the apartment and so had a chance to chat with him for a few minutes before we headed out to explore. I mentioned (jokingly) that the picture on the web showed many wine bottles sitting on the end table in the dining room but that they were missing now. He asked if we would like a bottle (yes, please) and indeed we found a tasty bottle of Prosecco in the fridge when we came back that evening(URL HIDDEN)Apart from the abundant collection of art books, the eclectic music set, and various containers to peek into for entertainment, we had all of the modern conveniences of a fully functioning kitchen and updated bathroom to make our stay a pleasurable one. And with the available WiFi, you won’t have to burn up your cellular data plan when you want to download a song or look up more info on an artist that you discover while perusing the collections. The location is perfect unless you aren't interested in exploring the castle, cathedrals, museums, parks, restaurants, pubs, etc. that surround it. We walked everywhere from the apt. and so the extra 76 steps up/down was a minor addition to the overall exercise regime for the day. So unless you have trouble with stairs, must have room service, or are claustrophobic about sleeping in the enclosed bedroom space, I wholly recommend. I’m sure, like everyone else, you’ll find the climb worth it.

The apartment was great, exactly as described and in the pictures. It is up four flights of stairs - was no problem for me, but some of my visitors found it tough! Also, the Tattoo passes by quite late at night, particularly on a Saturday, so there is quite a lot of street noise then. Overall, I loved the apartment and would gladly stay there again.

FANTASTIC! on a scale of 1-10, this is a 50! Calim's flat is simply a delight from start to finish, even better than the pictures. Immaculate, it is magnificently decorated with fine art and books; I could have happily stayed in and read for a month! Calim's decor is stellar and sophisticated, making a historic flat modern and elegant. Stunning deepset Georgian windows with their historic shutters look down on the Lawnmarket, the section of the Royal Mile closest to the Castle. Pour yourself a glass of wine in the evening and savor the atmosphere of this fairy tale nest; the lighting alone makes this the most romantic flat I have ever stayed in, and I felt like Marie Antoinette in that cabinet bed! In the morning, rain or shine, light pours in from those windows as the faint sound of bagpipes wafts down the street...I felt like i was in a movie! Staying here is like staying in a feature from Architectural Digest. Bathroom was fabulous, water pressure and temperature perfect. It is rare that one is able to find a nice place to stay in the Royal Mile that doesn't cost a fortune; the flat is actually a historic building only feet from Gladstone's Land, another historic home featured as a tourist attraction. NOTE: This flat is NOT suitable for those who cannot make it up the four flights of stairs (76 I believe), or for very young children. Calim simply has too many nice things, and they deserve to be treated well. Parking costs can also be forbidding...beware the lot under the castle; I ignored Calim's suggestion and ended up with a £65 fee for 2 days! I almost hate to post this review, because I am sure that scores of people will flock to stay here, and I can't wait to return next time I am in Edinburgh. In a word, PERFECT. Calim, if you will allow, I will be back!

Calim is the ideal host. He communicated before our trip and sent a list of really good restaurants and cafes, so we could make some bookings before we arrived. The apartment is in a very good location and is beautifully decorated with a superb collection of books and art. Calim even left us fresh food in the fridge, coffee and wine....Highly recommended!

Our second airbnb experience was truly outstanding. This is a superb garden flat, so clean modern and convenient. Everything was catered for and Tess was in constant contact when we had silly little questions. Located between two key train and underground stations and pubs at each end of the lovely tree-lined street. Supermarkets, Starbucks, artisan bakery all so close and easy. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if in London.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans le bel appartement de Tess qui est vraiment très agréable et parfaitement équipé. Il est situé dans un quartier tranquille et bien connecté avec le centre de Londres. Tess n'a pu nous accueillir, mais a chargé un ami qui est resté à nous attendre malgré notre arrivée tardive le premier soir. Tess est restée disponible via email pendant notre séjour. Nous recommandons ce logement !

Tess is a wonderful host and the apartment is delightful, full of characters. We only wish we can stay a few more days. It's certainly one of the best experience we had with airbnb.

El año no ha podido empezar mejor. El piso es estupendo y la amabilidad de Tess y (URL HIDDEN) 10! Tiene todas las comodidades. Es un piso precioso, muy bien decorado, cálido. El barrio muy tranquilo. Llegar al centro de Londres desde allí es muy rápido. En fin todo perfecto. Un piso maravilloso para una ciudad maravillosa. Gracias por todo ! Abrazos de Luis, Susana , Roger y Annie

We and our three kids had a perfect stay in a wonderful appartment . It really felt like home (but then better). Tess was really helpful in facilitating our journey and stay. We highly recommend her!

This was our first international trip with our children and Tess made it a seamless trip. She answered all my questions and offered suggestions before we even left the States. She was there to meet us on our arrival and even allowed an early bag drop. The flat was lovely and perfect for our family. It was clean and had all the amenities we could possibly need. It was a short walk to the Underground, a grocery and even several pubs. We will recommend this flat to anyone traveling to London. Tess is an absolute treasure!

Tess's flat was absolutely perfect four my family of two adults and two teens! The photos are accurate, Tess is so warm and welcoming, and the flat is much better equipped than I expected! The kitchen was a joy and the garden so gorgeous. We so loved this location too,so convenient to the tube! A pleasure to stay here! X

What a great stay! We wanted to be in a London neighborhood that would let our teen daughters experience London without staying at a hotel surrounded by retail stores. Tess and her wonderful flat was perfect for this! Great neighborhood food and easy access to the tube. Icing on the cake was a visit by a fox in the garden on our last morning :)

Diana was an excellent host and gave us tons of ideas for things to do. The place was lovely and exactly what we wanted for a quiet few days away. Would thoroughly recommend!

Hosts that treat you as if youve known each other forever? THIS is what AirBnB is all about! Ever stay someplace that is so fantastic that is brings out emotions? If you like quiet, secluded old country charm you MUST stay at the gate house. If the walls could talk. Beautiful scenes, historical charm and a wonderful little Scottish village all within walking distance. Right down the road there are villages where you can have anything from traditional fish and chips to fine dining. Edinburgh is a 50 minute drive away. Definitely a memory embedded in my heart and I would love to return some day. When you come across the profile I have 3 words for you "JUST DO IT"!

Diana made us feel very welcome and at home, we had a lovely welcome basket including fresh eggs from the castle hens,freshly picked flowers throughout which I thought was a lovely touch. Beautiful place to stay, very convient to get out and about with the A1 just a few minuets away absolutely gorgeous scenery just what we needed. we spent a long weekend there but definitely needed more time to see everything we wanted to during our visit. we will be back! X

Everything was great! From the directions and information sheet to the welcome pack of..... well you'll have to find out for yourselves, via the bed, the warmth and the beautiful location and quiet! It was our first visit to Northumberland and Borders Scotland and we were both very happily impressed

Diana made the whole booking and arrival process so easy it was great. She was very welcoming and sent us loads of information before and after arrival to help our trip. The Gate house is such a lovely place and we were very grateful for the lovely generous welcome pack. The accommodation was larger than we expected and has just the right amount of qwerky charm. It was presented to an extremely high standard which had obviously been much thought out. We would not hesitate to recommend the place and have done already, we hope to go back soon. Thank you

Absolutely wonderful stay at the gatehouse. Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. Diana was a perfect host, full of information and quick to reply to messages. The gatehouse itself was immaculate and every possible requirement had been considered.. Even a little welcome goodie basket! It was cosy and quirky and we had a magical stay!

Lovely warm welcome to a fantastic property. Very well provisioned and very cosy. Would recommend and we plan to book another stay!

Our stay at Ayton Castle's Gate House, and more importantly, our host, Diana, made our holiday in Scotland everything that we had hoped for and more! My daughter and I felt like princesses in the castle here. The Gate House, both inside and out, was a dream: beautiful, cozy, and full of upscale amenities. Diana is a true gem, and I am honored to now call her my friend. From the beautiful fresh flowers in nearly every window to the basket of goodies on the kitchen counter, not a single detail was overlooked. We stayed for a full week, and truly, we never wanted to leave! Of all of the places that I have stayed around the world, this one surpasses all others by far.

Tessa is a wonderful host and her flat is unique and charming. She provides linens and towels as well as two well-stocked binders full of information about London and the local neighborhood. The water pressure is low and there is some traffic noise, but everything else is excellent!

The room was superb with her long time collections of beautiful and interesting objects from around the world. Not only the room, the stairs, the kitchen, wherever you may go, you'll be fascinated by interesting pieces and never get bored. Tessa is a thoughtful and easygoing lady. My stay this time was only one night but I recommend this lovely place for your stay in London.

Tessa was a great host. Upon my arrival I received a pack full of information about London and places to visit. Throughout my stay Tessa offered detailed directions on how to get to any place that was of interest to me and places she would suggest visiting that are in the area. It's like having your own Tourist Info Center! I also got a set of fresh towels and a basket full of toiletry items when I arrived. I had a set of fresh linen every week. Tessa provided plenty or privacy even though I was staying in the living room on a comfy couch. The house is 5-7 min walking from Sainsbury's and Camden Town tube station; Camden Road overground station is even closer. It's also very close to the Camden Lock with lots of shops. Overall, I had a great experience and highly recommend this place!

our stay was perfect in each regard. tessa is nice an helpful and provides you with a lot of information. the place is comfy and cosy. perfect!

It was my first time in London and I was a lucky person to stay with Tessa, she was amazing host. I felt like I came back back to home and Tessa was my mum) Her house is amazing, so many interesting things inside! She was helpful and it was a quite cold - she suggested me soup , tea and a sweater) I'd love to come back to her home again! Oh, and the area is amazing as well. Market and everything is great!

Tessa is so warm and welcoming and so is her lovely home. It was a real treat to stay there - so much so that I will definitely book again. It is thankfully a world away from an anonymous beige hotel room and I only wish that I could have stayed longer. The location was superb and breakfast at nearby Arancini's was delicious. It cannot be faulted in any way!

Staying at Tessa's place was the best choice I could have possibly made. The room is fantastic - cozy and full of unique deatils, and Tessa is a great host. The are is very calm and safe yet close to the subway, Camnden Market and all the life. I will stay with Tessa again next time I come to London.

Tessa's place is lovely. The room is charming and full of character with a lot of interesting artworks. Tessa is also very considerate and a helpful host, she recommended several good places around the neighborhood. Overall a wonderful experience and highly recommended :) Location wise Camden Town is quiet, the bus system to central London is convenient, there are two tube stations close by but both a bit of a walk.

Susan's warm positive helpful attitude to her guests makes it a wonderful home away from home. She has thought of everything to make your stay easy and enjoyable. The convenience of either train or bus into the city centre allows flexibility and the easy travel to Richmond and Windsor a plus for me. Shame she doesn't control the weather. Thanks Susan I hope to be back next Uk trip.

It was good. Сlean, friendly and punctual.

This was my first air BnB experience and it was fantastic. Susan is incredibly warm and caring. The house was clean, warm and inviting. I had a wonderful stay at Susan's house and recommend it. The tube station is not too far and the frequency of the tube made getting around very easy. Unfortunately I don't have enough space to list all the great things about Susan and her house just that I thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a wonderful host, spotlessly clean accommodation, and a great location to stay with Susan. I had a wonderful time.

Susan was a lovely host! In a nutshell: The comfort of a 5*hotel, the warmth of a home! :)

Carol was a brilliant, interesting host and couldn't have been kinder. Great attention to detail has been taken for the needs of the traveler. Her tasteful home was exceptionally clean and would highly recommend a stay there. Thank you for everything Carol. Angie

Prima kamer in verrassend grote woning. Je bent wel een uurtje onderweg om in het centrum te komen (lopen naar metro en metro zelf).

My stay at Susan's home was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make me comfortable and gave lots of tips on where to go and what see in London. The house is exceptionally clean and the roommates are friendly and quite. Great location in a safe neighborhood. Thanks for everything!

Great stay at Susan's lovely spacious room, wonderfully comfy bed, room and facilities really nicely decorated and cared for and spotlessly clean - excellent! Susan is so friendly and accommodating too, helped me out at short notice, thanks Susan! No hesitation recommending fully without reservation.

It is one thing to see the cube house, it is quite another to live in one. Great experience!

Für Architekten sehr interessant, ungewohnte Raumerfahrung, insbesondere im Dach. Futuristisch, obwohl es schon vor 35 Jahren gebaut wurde. Aber es bleibt ein Experiment.

We spent one night at the Cubehouse in Jan 2015 and would highly recommend it. Lilian was a very welcoming and gracious host. She was easy to communicate with before and after booking as well as upon our arrival- which was much later than expected as we got lost driving into Rotterdam (in dense fog at night with a broken GPS…) We were traveling with our 2 year old son and the windows opening onto the road as well as the steep staircase were of concern to us before booking but it was fine with a little extra surveillance. That said, I could see how it might become tiresome keeping a young child away from them if spending an extended period of time in the house. The nice touches like good bottle of wine, quality linens and some food to snack on after a long drive were much appreciated. The new hamburger restaurant Firma Pickles >> just around the corner of the new market across the road from the cube houses had some of the best organic burgers and fries that we have ever eaten. Overall a very high quality experience and visit to Rotterdam. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our cube house experience. We had a wonderful time. Everything is so close by. Thanks for the tip about Hotel New York. Lilian was a very friendly host and we look forward to going back.

We were 4 people at Lilians apartment. The location is perfect if you want to visit Rotterdam, everything is quite close. If you are passionate about design or architecture you are going to love the complex of buildings. It was fun to live, even for one day, in a house like that. There was plenty of food and drink for the breakfast and even a nesspreso coffe maker.

The "Cube Houses" are an icon of Rotterdam; living inside one is certainly the best way to experience it - that's a must-do, especially if you're into modern architecture... or simply like to try an unusual and amazing place. The apartment itself is spacious, very clean, well furnished, with all the amenities you'll need. The decoration is great (it's been custom-designed for the apartment, due to the walls), everything feels very comfortable. Do not miss the top floor, it's a bright triangular room with nice views on the surroundings (and the other cubes), ideal to relax in the morning or evening. The location is very central - right next to Blaak station, the Markthal (a must-see building from MVRDV, with lots of food shops inside) and the Oudehaven. Lilian is a great host, very welcoming, helpful and professional. Note: the staircase is steep, Cube Houses are alas not so well suited for people with mobility issues.

We were very happy with our experience of staying in the Cube houses. This was an opportunity to try out a very "out of the box" way of living. We met Lilian when we came and she was very pleasant and helpful, gave us good advice for the city and helped out with parking and an extra bed as we brought two teenagers. The house was in very good condition, clean and I have to say that the master bed was really great. Our biggest surprise (apart from that the house is on 5 floors) was that it is very quiet. We were amazed that in one of the busiest spots in Rotterdam we had to concentrate to hear traffic or people. Best regards, Gudrun

Thanks Lilian for a great stay in Rotterdam. The Cube House was the perfect location and a great experience for our family. The pictures are accurate and Lilian is a great host. Stay here for a unique experience in Rotterdam.

Vicky is a great host, she is very friendly, helpful and considerate. The apartment was in perfect condition and the location is also great, close to a tube station and with a good connection to the City. We would stay there again.

We had a great stay at Vicky's house, she is a very good host and we almost had the house for ourselve the 3 days we stayed. Most off the time we spent outdoors but when we came (home) it was always very comfortable. The bedroom was very clean and so was the rest off the house and we had our own bathroom wich was for the guest with a very huge shower. All together we had a wonderful stay and i can recommend to stay at Vicky's

We were so glad to have found you Vicky . You were the most wonderful host . We felt so comfortable in your beautiful home in such a magnificent location . Breakfasts were so yummy and bed was super comfy . We would love to return to London again . Thanks from the bottom of our hearts xx

Amazing house in a very convenient location. Very close to the underground station and a short ride away from central London. Beds were divinely comfy. Vicky is also a lovely host; wicked helpful and such a pleasure to talk to. She also goes out of her way to make you feel welcome; my dad and I very much appreciated the simple breakfast spread she would put out each morning. Lovely lovely place and I wouldn't think twice about how staying here again next I'm in London.

Hi, We had a really lovely stay at Vickey's, such a warm happy lady, so willing to help in very way,even took me in her car to where our pick up was for the Cosmos coach the next day, so that we knew exactly where to go, it was like home from home,everything was spotlessly clean and we were even supplied with a lovely breakfast each morning.Thanks so much Vicky. Stella and Jack Australia

Vicky, thank you so much for your kindness and wonderful welcome. It was such a pleasure to meet you. Stay the way you are. All the best, Nina + Sven

Vicky is so friendly, she made us feel very welcome and check-in was very smooth and easy. thank you for all information of travelling given, the house and all rooms are clean. Thanks for hosting us! Bless you, Vicky

Our stay at Vicky's was everything we had been hoping for and the short walk to the bus and underground was perfect for getting around to see the sights of London.

my girlfriend and i spent some lovely four days on this houseboat and had a wonderful stay. the salloon is exactly as on the pictures and angie and roland have provided us with all the things we needed. definitely to be recommended!

Great accommodation and lovely place to stay. Beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you may need. All the small details that make all the difference when traveling. We wanted to stay in a special place and we found it! The house is very clean. Spacious and comfortable. Even better than in the pictures. Nice, cosy and quiet neighborhood. Location is PERFECT. Near all the main points of interest. Having the bikes was also a plus.The only problem was that the athmosphere and surroundings were so good that it was hard leaving the house! :) Definitely we will go back at. Totally recommendable.

Somoya is a super cool house boat. Angie has thought of every detail and is very welcoming and relaxed. The bikes mean that it is a hop skip and a jump into the centre of the action. There are also beautiful views from the boat particularly at night. Thankyou very much for making our stay so memorable :)

Angie was very welcoming as was her husband. The Somoya is exactly as pictured, maybe better! The location is a bit further than the tourist attractions than I would have liked but was in a quiet neighborhood and was still a lovely trip.

The stay at the Somoya was absolutey fabulous! All three of us enjoyed it immensely. The hosts make you feel absolutely at home (having a stocked fridge helps) and are always very helpful. Having bikes in Amsterdam is a real treat - you haven't been to Amsterdam if you haven't been on a bike. The beds are really comfy and the kitchen is well-equipped. The interior is to die for, as is the sun-deck. We are already planning our next trip, that's how much we enjoyed it. So if you get a chance and don't mind the openness of a houseboat, come and stay here!!

Fantastic experience!!! We were thrilled when we arrived at Angie's houseboat and saw first hand just how cute and warm and comfortable it really is. It was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I to spend our first visit to Amsterdam. I highly recommend it!

This place is a true gem. If you have the chance to book it, do it!

Beautiful accommodations, love all the little extras (wine, snacks, toiletries, etc) & awesome location. Definitely adds to the whole Amsterdam experience!

Drew and Tom were both incredibly welcoming and accommodating! The room was lovely. The flat was close to the city centre which made being tourists very easy and fun. Both Tom and Drew were quick to give suggestions on places to eat, see, and go. They even left us some whiskey to try when we got in. Both were great hosts, and we thoroughly enjoyed staying with them! If we come back to Edinburgh (which we hope we do!), we will definitely look to stay with Tom and Drew. Thanks for a great visit!

TOM AND DREW ARE REALLY NICE! DREW ALWAYS GIVE ME MANY SUGGESTIONS, THANK YOU!

Drew and Tom are fantastic hosts! Their home is exactly like the pictures with a great kitchen, bathroom, and only a short while from the city centre. They were both very flexible with our arrival/leaving times, and made sure to give us handy hints about things to do around Edinburgh. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks!

Really enjoyed my stay if only brief as It was a business trip. Perfect hosts Brian

Drew and Tom were so lovely! They had the room set up with an awesome leather chair, a little TV, a mini fridge, a mini tea set-up and a snuggly little Teddy Bear in a kilt resting on the pillows. There was a great sheet on the dresser to give tips of where to go, what to see and what foods to try. They clearly made an effort to make our stay a pleasant one. Comfy bed, cozy home and darling hosts. You couldn't go wrong staying with Drew and Tom!

Very contemporary, comfortable and friendly place to stay whilst in Edinburgh. A very short walk from Princes Street.

Our trip to Edinburg will always be a happy memory due to stay with Drew and Tom. We spent 5 days inhaling the warmth of a beautifully decorated and spacious room. from the moment we were greeted till the time of our departure we were treated with the warmth and kindness of family. Consider yourself fortunate if you have an opportunity to stay at Drew and Tom's.

Both of my stays at Drew and Tom's lovely location were absolutely outstanding. They are excellent and helpful hosts. Please see my other review for additional information.

I've always had a dream to live in the St. Pancras building & the Clock Tower spot made it a reality -- & a magical one at that. Majestic, yes, but also homey, comfortable & welcoming. I was even able to join one of the amazing dinners by UNA & met a delightful mix of international diners all while enjoying a delicious dinner. & all the possibilities the Clock Tower holds are exciting & intriguing. Peter was the consummate host, kind & accommodating. So grateful for such a fulfilling experience that even included frequent trips to the BL. Can't wait for the next time!

Everything about my stay at the Clock Tower was positive. Peter is a true gentleman, quick and polite communicator and flexible with arrangements. He clearly has a great love for his property and this shines through in its cleanliness, functionality and environment. I don't have anything negative to say about my experience. Having been a regular visitor to London over the years, this stay added a nice point of difference for me and I can only recommend it if you have the opportunity.

The St Pancras clock tower was a truly great experience. If you get a chance to stay here I highly recommend it. Both Peter and Tim are really great and so welcoming to this incredible space they choose to share. The bedroom is very large and has everything you need in the kitchen and ensuite bathroom. Make sure you take some time to appreciate the main clock tower room also as its such a great space. Overall a great experience.

We were met on arrival and was immediately impressed by the apartment. We had a fantastic time.

Peter has an absolutely amazing home. It is amazing that he shares it so openly. Booking was very efficient. Concierge was able to let us in as we arrived late. The apartment has to be seen to be believed. The photos are good but don't do it full justice. The clock tower room is spectacular. We stayed in the guest suite which is self contained and would be perfect for a couple or small family to stay for a few days or a week. Lovely to have tea and coffee and other essentials available. Would so love to stay again. Peter is a great host and rightly proud of his fabulous home. Good luck. Until the next time.....??..

Peter made us very welcome and the communication from him throughout was excellent. The location and the views are amazing.

Everything was perfect with my stay! The location is wonderful - very close to nightlife and public transport. The apartment itself is beautiful and Peter is an excellent host. I had a great time!

An amazing experience in a spacious room that's more like a studio.

We stayed for five days in August and totally enjoyed Alice's flat. The room has enough space for your stuff, the bed is comfortable, and there is excellent cross ventilation from large windows on two sides. The whole flat is bright and thoughtfully laid out. Alice always quickly responded to messages before arrival in a detailed and helpful way. Unfortunately our paths only crossed once while we were in London since we found Alice welcoming and engaging. The walk from the flat to the high street was pleasant, the wait for a bus to the tube was never more than a minute or two, and it is only a couple of stops to the centre of London. Overall excellent value and recommended. We also found Alice's restaurant suggestions to be spot on (although the two places on the local high street were closed for holidays while we were there).

It was the worst stay I have ever had. Nothing was tidy. Very dirty. Ants in the kitchen. No space for our bags, because she left stuff in our room. Renovation work is not completed. No privacy, even for a ground floor flat. Small bed.

It was a pleasure to stay in the nicely renovated "half-cottage". Alice is a brilliant person and a welcoming host.

The flat was really nice, cosy. Alice was really kind, she provided all the necessary information, clear and easy directions, etc. She could also help me out with some medicine for my cold. :) Nice neighbourhood and close to the center. I can definitely recommend it!

The stay and the way the host made virtually everything OK, is to say, I would do it again if I were in London, today. Alice is an architect and the cottage has the clean lines associated with such a fine mind, but she also is down-to-earth, easy to talk with and salt-of-the-Earth. Metro and bus are an easy go. So what is not to like about this offer, I can only sit and wonder because the entire time things were simply sublime.

The house was like it is shown in the photos. The ubication was excelent and we enjoyed our stay there. Alice was very helpful and her indications were acurate. I recommend it!

Die Unterkunft war prima, der Kontakt mit Alice sehr gut und wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Alles lief wirklich einwandfrei und das Cottage von Alice ist zwar klein (London halt...), aber super gepflegt und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Straße ist sehr ruhig, es gibt einen kleinen Kiosk drei Häuser weiter und die Bushaltestelle ist auch nur zwei Minuten entfernt. Sehr gerne wieder!

Right from the start, Alice was so helpful and quick to respond to any queries I had. She made us feel very welcome as if it were our own. Such a great host! Would recommend to anyone :)

Really recommend! The room is amazing, good location. And Manuel is a friendly and easygoing host, giving a lot of recommendations.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay in this place. Manuel is completely awesome, friendly and kind. The apartment is just a 2 min walk from the wibautstraat metro station and in 5 minutes you can be in the center. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you might need. The view from the balcony is adorable (especially on sunny days). The whole stay was impeccable and Manuel made it even more enjoyable with his valuable tips. I completely recommend it!

The room is awesome, in the perfect location, and Manuel is a very nice and accommodating host. Highly recommend.

Manuel was the perfect host, he definitely will make sure you ll have a wonderful time in Amsterdam. The location is very central, quiet, the room has everything you need with a very pretty personal touch. I highly recommend it and I will definitely come back!

I needed a place to take a short nap upon landing. I arrived in mid-afternoon on a Saturday, which I'm sure was inconvenient for Manuel who had to wait for me. He was waiting and very pleasant. The room was tidy and quite nice. I had a great nap and would highly recommend Manuel as a host.

About the room I stayed at this place for 3 nights : location in Amsterdam Central so you can walk from the central station. Far enough from the Red Lights District, so night time is quiet. The room is clean. The bathroom is superb. Fast wifi . Access to the kitchen. About the host My arrival was on early afternoon and my departure was at lunch time on weekday, Manuel managed his schedule so he would be at the appartment . Overall he is a good guide and can advice places outside of Amsterdam and its surrounding. If you have chance , Manuel also makes great cocktails.

Manuel was away during my stay so his mother Yuri helped with the booking. I liked the place and the location was great to get around central Amsterdam.

Attente ontvangst (mail en telefoontje vooraf), de kamer bood perfect wat de beschrijving deed verwachten, ligging in het hart van de stad en toch rustig is ideaal: alles op loopafstand te bereiken. Wifi werkte perfect. Comfortabele badkamer.

Although I never met Juri, the townhouse was easy to find and in a beautiful suburb, close to public transport, cafe's, parks etc. Juri answered any questions I had promptly. The Master Room is huge and both beds were made up with clean linen, the rooms cleaned professionally. The bathroom is enormous. The commune areas were easily accessible and I met some lovely visitors on my stay. I would suggest though that there is no lift and if you have heavy luggage, you will be walking up steep stairs, there isn't anyone there to help, as you would in a hotel. All in all, great accommodation, thank you Juri and if back in London, would stay again.

Lovely big room with amazing bathroom. Great for family if 4. Tube station relatively close and the wonderful Kew gardens only 20 minutes walk away.

A great location for us to explore London & catch up with family. Once we worked out the check in system all went well. A large master bedroom with great bathroom. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Kitchen well set up & my husband & son enjoyed making themselves coffee. We shall return!

Lovely Place and I thank them for accommodating a last-minute reservation after a flight cancelation!

We've had a great time! Everything was perfect!! Absolutely recommendable!

The automatic check-in system is really clear and concise! Everything was perfect! The room is absolutely stunning, with amazing bathroom. We enjoyed it very much. The location is a little too far from where we spend our time in London (Soho, City Centre), but it is worth it in my opinion. I used Uber to travel around and that area have lots of Uber! (got it within 1 min) it is probably a big residential area. Really quite.

We had a lovely time here. The house is really close to two different tube stations, so getting in and out of central London was a breeze. There's also a really great little breakfast place two blocks over. The room was nice- we rarely spent anytime in other parts of the house- but the entire house was cozy. The hosts were great- responded to everyone of my many messages very quickly.

Excellent as always!

Very clear and detailed instructions in the PDF provided. Everything was simple and smooth! Neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Only weird bit was how I was provided 2 hair conditioners and Shampoo, would've been nice if shower gels were provided. Nevertheless, very very pleasant experience and would recommend to my friends!

Another stay at J Muse and great again. Thanks!

This balcony room is superb as I didn't expect it so large as we seen from the photos, it actually can fit 4 people...unfortunately, we didn't met Juri, but he has a perfect Checkin and out system

The Muse Haus was actually the best Airbnb experience that I have had yet. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully decorated and our bedroom was very comfortable. We found everything we needed to prepare our supper in the kitchen, and I thought that the cereal and coffee provided was a lovely touch. There is a book in the room with lots of information about the nearby shops, pubs and public transport that we found to be helpful. It's a fantastic location, walking distance to Hammersmith high street and the underground.

Lovely room in attractive location near river! Very welcoming and easy to make oneself at home. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Muse Haus - great facilities and vibe. Lovely to be so close to the river. Would recommend

Unser Gastgeber hat uns einer sehr genauer Beschreibung von der Weg zu seinem Haus von der U-Bahn gegeben. Das war toll. Die Nachbarschaft ist sehr schön und der Unterkunft genau beschrieben. Wir konnten unsere Gepäck vor check-in Zeit da lassen was sehr hilfreich war.

Awesome as always I love this room as you can sit on the balcony on a warm evening and can see the Thames. Juri's place is always super clean, the other guests always nice and the process straight forward.

I loved staying at Dan and Alex's place! The apartment is beautiful, with great views all around, and the room is very comfortable. Everything was kept very clean and Dan was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay (I was sad I never got to meet Alex, I'm sure he's great too!). There isn't much right around the apartment but the buses were very easy to navigate and the running/walking path just outside takes you along the beach and is very nice to have nearby. I would highly recommend staying with Dan and Alex.

Sean and I really enjoyed staying with Dan and Alex. The room was comfortable and clean, and came with a lovely, flowered balcony overlooking the harbor. Our hosts were generous and friendly, and provided everything we needed plus more. The location is quiet and a few miles from the center of town, which we enjoyed, especially after a day at the Fringe Fest. There are a few bus stops just outside the building. Dan wrote me just before our arrival with info on how to buy bus tickets. We ended up walking in and out of town most days because we wanted to see the city on foot. It's a long walk, but pleasant. Walking back to the flat through Leith along the harbor at sunset was really nice too. Uber is an option, but calling one in the morning from the harbor is a bit tricky, so I'd recommend walking or taking the bus. Our stay with Dan and Alex was one of the most enjoyable Airbnb experiences we've had and we would do it again!

We stayed our first two nights in Scotland with Dan and Alex as well as our last two nights. We came as strangers and left two weeks later as friends! Dan and Alex are gracious hosts, making us feel welcomed in their home. Their home is in an ideal location between the airport and downtown Edinburgh. The evening sunsets overlooking the harbor were absolutely gorgeous! Susan and Mike -California- May and June 2013

Magnifique.. Super.. on est chez soi..

Dan and Alex are really wonderful, I felt like at home: they gave me great tips to enjoy the city, which I adored. the home is wonderful, the view great, the breakfast also forgurmets. arrive to the city centre is very simple, you have the 47 bus 2 min by walking or the 16 near (about 5 min walking) I'm really very happy for everything, I'll sure come back here next year, I suggest Dan & Alex, the best hosts that you could hope to meet. Thanks!

The room was wonderful - located in the top floor with a beautiful view from the little balcony. Everything was very clean and we felt like at home. Dan and Alex are very friendly persons who gave us helpful tipps for our stay in Edinburgh. We highly recommended to stay at their beautiful flat!

Easy access to downtown from our flat via bus route 47 (4 pounds for a day bus pass). Alex was a great source of information about local attractions. Dan had great technical information to make it easy to get there. The view was spectacular. Local restaurants provide a phenomenal view of the harbor .The room was spacious and the bed quite comfortable. I would highly recommend this as a local destination when traveling to Edinburg.

Fantastic place to stay! There was delicious breakfast each morning, which was very appreciated. Dan and Alex were very friendly and welcoming during our entire stay. They offered opinions on places to go based on what we wanted. They allowed us use of their bikes to get around town, which was a great. I would definitely recommend staying here.
