Nice homely feel, good location

Fridge was way too small for a family with tiny freezer, missing basic utensils (veg peeler), beds were very uncomfortable, cutlery and crockery dirty

Great location, very nice, clean, tidy little house. Fittings and furnishings were all spotless and new. Very friendly communication with the host.

No garden (just an uninviting yard). Only 1 set of keys, no dishwasher. Also, I don't mind paying a deposit, but I do feel it should be taken at the time of making the booking, and through booking.com. I was quite nervous about making a £200 bank transfer 2 days before our stay to an unknown bank account number... it felt a lot like a scam. As it happened, everything was OK, and we got our full deposit back (thanks), but it did sour my experience of the house.

The house is very close to the town centre, only about two minutes from the LIDL supermarket but still on a quiet residential street. All the furnishings, bedding, etc. were very nice and essentially brand new during our stay in July 2023. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely consider coming back again the next time we visit Retford.

The deposit needed to be paid by bank transfer before arrival (not in collected in cash upon arrival as stated on the booking page) and was later returned by bank transfer too. I was also required to sign and return a terms & conditions document prior to arrival which is not mentioned on the booking page.
