Very convenient and easy place to stay. Thanks Steve.
Pros:

The host was lovely, friendly and easy to get on with and he made us feel very at home. The accommodation comfortable and accessible. The area lovely and quiet.

Cons:

The lounge retained a ‘fusty’ smell maybe from having owned a dog. Just in need of fresh air/ air freshener in the room.

Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.
Pros:

This is a bedroom in a house still occupied by the owner.

The value for money was pretty good.

The owner was friendly, welcoming, and facilities were clean.

It was very close to the attraction that was my main reason for the trip

Cons:

Overall the house smelled of damp/must. There was no fan provided and no AC on some of the hottest days on record in the UK. The room, while clean, was also very outdated and getting pretty tatty around the edges. There was too much large furniture in a relatively small room, so moving around always had something in the way. The furniture and the bedding were all mismatched. It was kinda like staying in your old aunt's house overnight as a kid.

It was hard to find the location as the signage was somewhat hidden in the hedge.

Parking for the two cars of the guests was pretty tight.

Pros:

Przemiły właściciel, łóżko w pokoju zaś bardzo wygodne. Do stacji Wool prosta droga, a do Tank Museum dobra ścieżka spacerowa wzdłuż drogi. Spacer zajął nam ok 45 minut.

Cons:

Ściany dość cienkie więc wszystko było słychać.

Great value accommodation in a peaceful location - ideal for exploring the local area.
Pros:

Steve is a great host, very welcoming and friendly and full of good local knowledge. Our room was very clean as was the shared bathroom and the bed was comfy. We had full use of the kitchen if we wanted which was an added bonus.
Lancresse is in a quiet location but easy walking distance to the village centre and a couple of pubs - whilst the railway is close, you dont notice it.

Pros:

Our host was exceedingly helpful with a very late arriva after heavy traffic and a punctured tyre made me very late. A dog lover

Cons:

It was difficult to find as no picture of the house is available. The house is undergoing works. In need of an overhaul to justify the price
