This house is beautiful and spacious. Plenty of rooms and comfortable beds. We had 17 people and there was one room we never had to use. As others have commented, it appears to be used for photo shoots in some capacity. That being said, there is A LOT of breakable decor. We were traveling with 9 pretty calm kids but I was still nervous the whole time that a wall of dishes would come crashing down. If we had younger, more rambunctious kids, it would have been incredibly stressful. The listing mentions that London city center was a 10 minute train ride, but it definitely wasn’t that simple. We didn’t quite figure out the most efficient way to get there until the last day and we ended up having to Uber to the station. It would definitely be helpful for the property to have some information on transport and restaurants, Details on a few basics would have been extremely helpful. The small town that was walking distance was fine, but didn’t feel like the kind of place you wanted to wander at night. This property would be perfect for a large group of adults that wanted to be together away from life’s distractions, but if your plan is to use it as a home base for a London vacation, do thorough research first. The beauty and comfort of the home gets 5 stars, the location and sporadic communication from the owner’s could have been

GORGEOUS! The house is immaculate. Perfect size for our larger group, which included 10 people between the ages of 16 and 75. Great location! Quiet neighborhood, close to 2 metro stops, grocery stores, and restaurants.

We were nine people staying at High View for 5 night in July. The house is gorgeous, just as the pictures shows. Well equipped kitchens, the beds are very comfortable, and good cleanliness. The outside area is beautiful, but unfortunately

House was beautiful and check-in easy. Allowed for a group of 14 to have many nesting places and quiet separate bedrooms. Potentially not perfect for handicapped travelers (taxi/Uber to downtown ranges 50-70 min, subway beautiful/efficient (50 min) but 15 min downhill and 20 min uphill back, no bathroom on 1st floor). Local restaurants spotty, delivery can be amazing. Best for larger groups. If you love longer walks and the adnenture of train/subway travel in an affordable/beautiful roomy place to stay that is well appointed - perfect!

The property is spacious and the beds comfortable. It is clearly used as a photo shoot location so is very elegant to look at. Some things do not work. No bulbs in some bedside lights. Were we supposed to bring our own? A bath in a bedroom that is just for show. No stereo as advertised in the details. A booklet in the property with wifi details etc. included would help and save me a call to the owner.The house next door has garbage all over the driveway. Abandoned shopping trolley etc. Nearest restaurant is 1.5 mile to walk to. Small grocery store about 1 mile away. Overall though a very good property and experience.

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!
