Great location, close to Leicester centre. Spacious house. Long dining table for all guest to sit at.
5.0/5
We had a lovely stay and would happily return. The property is full of character, both inside and out, and it was lovely staying somewhere with so much history. The master bedroom in particular is beautiful, with its wonderfully high ceiling and enormous window giving a real sense of the grandeur of the original house.

The accommodation was very clean overall and extremely well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, including plenty of cooking equipment, coffee machines and a dishwasher, while the oven and fridge were exceptionally clean. The bathrooms were also clean and well stocked, and having a vacuum available was really useful when staying with children.

Communication with the host was excellent throughout and our feedback was received positively and professionally.
5.0/5
The place was beautiful! Very spacious with a lovely open plan kitchen/diner/lounge area, which then opened onto the garden! Our only issues were the water pressure on the top floor, sometimes is wouldn’t run more than just a trickle and then it would start spitting out, but with it being an older building, it was completely understandable and the shower in the top floor onsuit was a little still to turn on and off! These things wouldn’t stop me from staying again and I would 100% would do so! Plenty of places to eat along London Road, with a few pubs. Victoria park and Demonfort Hall are only a few minutes walk away!
5.0/5
The house was lovely and as spacious as expected. The garden was beautiful and great for the kids to play. Everything that was listed was provided and a little more. Excellent home, will surely book again should we need to be in that area in the future.
4.0/5
Great size house, lovely space outside too. All the bits you'd need already there.
9.0/10
Spacious house with lovely host.
Positive: Very spacious, it had a lovely garden and the host was very accommodating! The kitchen and living space is great, with all the shoe storage. It was very easy to access with a key and clear instructions are given as to how to enter and leave etc. was great for what we needed it for.
Negative: Bed were slightly soft for our liking. Access into the property and parking is alittle tight for larger cars. Overall the property was clean but the main bathroom drain we had to pull the hair out so the water would go down. Some of the curtains wouldn’t go up in the master bedroom in this heat so we struggled alittle with the warmth. Potential to provide more fans etc.
5.0/5
Thanks for a lovely stay in your home. The property is larger than the photos make it look, plenty of space. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering to book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

beautiful house with amazing amenities. lovely quiet area. no issues at all.
also supplied one fan due to extreme heat when requested.
would highly recommend
5.0/5
tricky place to find , qas very grateful for the video and written instructions. Really quiet neighbourhood, lovely house , free from lots of family clutter. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms had shampoo etc in them. Close to city, short Uber ride I to town. Perfect for University Graduation week.
BBQ in garden, lovely outdoor secure space where children could play ball.
Could have done with bed layout to plan rooms a little easier. We could not work out where it slept 12 until realised there were 2 sofa beds. You would all still get privacy if you needed to sleep the full 12.
Would highly recommend this house if you need to stay in Leicester.

3.0/5
The house is great and spacious with everything you needed, however it wasn’t very clean on arrival which was a shame. We had to get new bedding which was promptly refunded and a cleaner was sent the next day. Host was responsive but needs to make sure the cleaning company are better.
5.0/5
very beautiful and spacious house in lovely quiet area - great walk through park and New Walk into town for the fascinating history on view in Leicester
2.0/5
Communicate pre and post was clear and gave lots of information about finding the property and instructions of the amenities.
Unfortunately the property wasnt as clean as I would expect with dust in obvious areas and the fridge and oven hadnt been cleaned in a while.
The main oven also didnt work throughout our stay - no temperature, which was a huge disappointment and inconvenience.
It could benefit from more homely touches as feels more function than home.
We had to go searching for the duvet for the sofa bed as all the ones downstairs didnt have a cover.
Overall it would be a great option for people needing a place for 4+ people to sleep if they deep cleaned the property and made it more of a home.
5.0/5
Absolutely perfect for a get together, great food, bustling city, and a quiet neighborhood.
5.0/5
Gorgeous house. Host is communicative and helpful.
4.0/5
Good location, close to city centre amenities.
Grand home with plenty of space and nice garden. Nice bathrooms.
General cleanliness could be improved. Surfaces and floors could do with a deep clean.
We had an issue with the main oven not working, which the agent was responsive to but it wasn’t repaired during the stay. Also found several items belonging to the owners or previous visitors, including a very old baby bottle including milk behind the bed!
Good overall and with some attention to detail could be excellent.
3.0/5
Nice house in good location. Few differences vs photos. Main areas clean but some issues that couldn’t be resolved during stay.
5.0/5
We had a great stay. House just as described.
1.0/5
Absolutely horrific experience. Avoid at all costs. Property had been superficially cleaned following a party before our check in. Rubbish bags sat on drive, upturned garden furniture. Finger marks all over mirrors around the house, faeces splatter stuck to inside of toilet bowls and worst of all; the unthinkable - what could only be bodily fluid stains on duvet. Bedding was not washed between guests. Spare pillow had blood splatter on it. Boiler wasn’t working and had to be reset for heating to work. Host unresponsive out of office hours and sounds like an AI chatbot. Had to drive around to find bedding to buy at 2 am and had to check out after one awful sleepless night to find alternative accommodation. Host then started harassing for payments for damaged blinds which we didn’t break as Airbnb gave us full refund for property.
5.0/5
Lovely house, clean and well equipped to accommodate big families. Nice spacious dining area with open living area. Excellent swift communication from the host, he was always at hand when messaging. Lovely grass area, ideal property to rent in the summer. Would definitely come back to stay here again. We had a big party and all thoroughly enjoyed their experience at this air BnB would definitely recommend.
5.0/5
Wonderful stay! exactly as described with lots to do around the house
5.0/5
Wonderful home. Very techy! Clean and had all the amenities you need. Lots of room to all spread out and not be on top of each other but also lovely sociable space to eat and spend time together.

Very convenient too for the local park round the corner for the children to play in - playground and very big space to kick a football.

Garden was very long - great for children running around.

Driving distance to local restaurants, bowling and the space centre.
5.0/5

Very responsive and helpful host. We celebrated my sister’s graduation with Bruneian students from Leicester College and had a great time. The kitchen was fully equipped and the stay was one of the highlights of our UK trip. Highly recommended.

5.0/5
We booked this Airbnb while attending my wife’s grandma’s funeral, and it provided exactly the comfort and peace we needed. My father-in-law checked in first and found the house spotless, tidy, and welcoming. When we joined later, we were equally impressed — the beds were very comfortable, the amenities were perfect, and the host was quick to respond to any questions. The location was especially convenient for the Great Glen Crematorium, which made things easier during a difficult time. Overall, it was a lovely home that gave our family a restful and supportive base
