Clean, safe and convenient

Location was perfect for our stay. Safe neighborhood. The accommodations were clean and we had virtually everything we needed for a week+ stay. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

The master bedroom mattress is due to be replaced.

Ideal location for visiting Newmarket.

Surprisingly spacious house for narrow exterior. Easy to park outside.

Smell on entering property. It had been cleaned well enough for a changeover clean but the whole property really needs a deep clean.

Thistle Cottage.

Convenient for wedding location

2 dodgy chairs so people had to sit on hard chairs. Last people didn't wash plates and cutlery. Moth in the bed and rubbish under sofa and in draws. Front door had a hole you could see daylight through. Oh and cigarettes ends and stale pizza in flower pot was not nice .

Was great as we were going to Newmarket races. Would recommend

Spacious house. Well equipped.

Communication via Booking.com was very confusing. The company got back to me straight away. They were great. The lights in the bathroom were far too dim -could barely see. Carpets very stained.

Luckily we were visiting family so spent most of the time out but I wouldn’t recommend staying here with young kids due

Great location! Short drive from Stansted airport

There was a horrendous smell upon entering everytime, especially in the hall and lingering into the lounge - possibly stale smoke? So bad that it was catching my daughters throat and we spent most of the time with the back door/windows open when there. When I arrived home and opened the suitcase everything in there smelled of the same lingering smoke so ifs all had to be washed. Base level clean, oven still had crumbs upon opening and needed a deep clean but toilets/showers/fridge looked clean. Lots of stains on the carpets, and yellow tinge on walls (I assume due to someone previously smoking for a long period of time?). If it wasn’t for the smell, it would of been an enjoyable stay.

Clean and comfortable, great shower! Was able to relax and beds were great Nice location for me as I was on business in Newmarket

Only one thing if I'm being critical, There was a funny smell when entering the hall which I presume is from not being lived in day to day,apart from that none,

great location and comfortable house. consider dealing with smoke smell

promixity to park, grocery store and public transportation is a plus. the bedding and house were comfortable. bathrooms were clean. house was clean other than smoke smell, comfortable temperature, furniture and kitchen set up. extra chargers and UK adapter were very helpful. thank you

The house smells heavily of smoke. after a 10 hour flight home, everything including backpack and suitcase need laundering, very bad smell. There was a note from a previous renter which makes me wonder if anyone was in the house prior to our arrival. there were spiders and webs in the corners of the bedrooms. might be good to open the house prior to visitors. I could not find a hair dryer so if needed, that would be something to pack.

Lovely house in a quiet area with good parking outside the property.

Easy parking, quiet area and lovely house.

We would have liked some leaflets with info on local attractions but couldn't see any in the drawers downstairs.

Privacy and comfort at an excellent affordable price.

All amenities were available and fully working if needed at Thistle Cottage; the whole house was very comfortable and clean making it a perfect choice for a short stay in the beautiful surroundings within easy reach of RED LODGE. The property was very easy to find and parking was also very good; the neighbours were very friendly and the local shops were also well stocked with items that were required. It is a very pleasant area to stay in and explore: Mildenhall was only a short drive away and has a host of good places to eat or, if preferred, takeaway meals to suit most tastes. Chippenham Park is also a must see beauty spot where you can peacefully walk amongst excellent acres of delights. A most green and pleasant experience in a lovely part of the U.K.

It was sad to leave but fond memories were made during that short visit to Red Lodge and Thistle Cottage. This property will be recommended to friends and family should the opportunity arise in the future. Many thanks.

Perfect!

So roomy. Three bedrooms was perfect. Nice to have all the amenities of home.

Not a complaint but: I didn’t know you had to raise the handle to the the door. I think it is common in England, but I didn’t know. An ice tray would be helpful for the Americans who are accustomed to ice in every drink.

Very good

We were visiting to attend a wedding locally Upon arrival, having received the doorkey code, we easily accessed the house. The house was clean and comfortable. Perfect for what we needed. The rooms are small but we had 3 bedrooms for 3 adults to get ready We did not explore the local area as we didn't have time.

The wasn't anything for us to dislike.

Poor

Location was good

The property hadn’t been cleaned to an acceptable standard, first impression was of the front door, no letter box cover, crack down the door, filth all round the frame. The carpet was dirty throughout and ripped by the sofa bed. The en suite shower was dirty and didn’t drain. When we pulled out the sofa bed the mattress cover was dirty and the inside of the bed was filthy. The microwave smells of curry which we had to use to clean our grandson’s bottles which made them smell of curry.

Nice property. Very suitable as a base for a family attending a wedding at Chippenham Park.

A nice 3 bedroomed house with 2 bathrooms and a lawn at the back. Very suitable for a family group.

There were no blackout blinds or curtains in the back bedrooms. The kitchen was sparsely kitted out with regard to items needed ( no cafetiere or coffee machine). Floors very creaky!
