We were a large family in town for a long weekend to attend a sporting event at Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Location was within walking distance to the stadium, grocery store and restaurants. It was close to the tube for easy travel in and out of the city for sighting seeing. The property was perfect to accommodate our large group.

We booked Noel Park for a family of 9 ages 49-3. Finding a home of that size in the city was challenging and expensive so we were thrilled to find Orla's home. Orla was excellent in her communication and in helping us with planning day trips and answering our questions. Due to COVID we had to cancel last minute and Orla worked with us to rebook (for a fee). The Good: The house has plenty of beds for a large family. Orla Provided a generous amount of food for our breakfast (and snacks) for several days. The home had a charming old feel. The bathrooms were clean and updated, ample hot water, and soap and shampoos provided. AC units on the two upper floors were much appreciated during the August heat! The proximity to the Turnpike Lane Tube station was very convenient, even with younger legs. A pram came in handy for our three-year old. The basket full of toys was greatly appreciated and plenty of children's books for bedtime reading. The Bad: The neighborhood feels run-down and not well loved. Not many good dine-out options, mostly small take-away places with global cuisine. It is not what I would call "charming" and the walk to the tube station is not appealing. The living room furniture was badly stained, sagging or cat-clawed. The yard and gardens were not tidy upon arrival, we spent our first morning trimming, raking and blowing the leaves that were on the deck and in the flower beds. We visited in the midst of a dry spell and after a week of extreme heat, so we understand that not much survived. But I would expect "tidy" (dead branches trimmed, empty pots stored or refilled with fresh flowers (not mosquitos), broken garden accents removed) and maybe a fresh hanging basket at the entrance as a minimum standard from someone letting their home as a business. Orla did send someone to fix a few small things and pullout back some of the dead plants. In summary: One could really enjoy themselves here and enjoy this home as a convenient base to travel into the city. And I agree with much of what the other reviewers have to say. But I think a cleaner, better maintained space would have made me feel more comfortable and welcomed.

Great property for a large group with plenty of space to be together or spend a little quite time alone. The outdoor spaces were relaxing and private, a nice reprieve after the hustle and bustle of site seeing in London. Owner was a wonderful host, easy to contact and happy to help with any needs that arose.

We stayed here with our two daughters and their families. We were six adults and four children. It was a great place for us, quiet and comfortable. And we were on just the right Tube line for the sights we wanted to visit.

Orla was a marvelous, gracious host for our family of eight vacation. She was available and responded quickly to any questions or requests prior to and during our two week stay. When I mentioned that I was looking forward to tasting English scones, she baked fresh scones and delivered them the next morning with clotted cream - delicious! It was a terrific neighborhood to get the full London experience with a great cafe, pub and stores. Everything we needed daily was within walking distance and the tube and bus stops were just short walks. I would definitely recommend this property.

We definitely enjoyed staying in this home. Communication was excellent. Everything you need is here, definitely recommend.

Orla hosts a beautiful home with plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 children. Orla provided snacks for the morning hours and a special treat of Easter candy for the kiddos. I would def recommend this home for future large and small groups.

This is a beautiful, comfortable and clean home as represented in the listing. We found the location of Orla’s property to be in a prime spot for us within walking distance between two family members homes. We also enjoyed the location being a quick walk to Downhills Park (with a lovely café) and Lordship Rec Grounds. There are wonderful restaurants nearby that delivered (with some difficulty with delivery). Orla is an excellent (and nice) host, so easy to communicate with! This includes her flexibility with our check-in time and timely responses to our most of our needs. We appreciated coffees, teas, delicious holiday treats, shampoos, soaps, simple holiday decorations etc. Orla left for us, making it feel like home. The bedrooms are cosy and comfortable. The bathrooms are fine, though the loft shower had low water pressure and the ceiling height was a challenge for our 6’ son. The kitchen is very well equipped with the exception of a dishwasher which I missed in the list of amenities. Overall, a lovely stay that Orla took care in making comfortable and memorable.
