Brilliant property

Brilliant property, plenty of room and all mod cons for a self catering stay. It was also convenient to drive and commute to London by train, as close to Stevenage train station and you are in central London under an hour.

Never stay in Docklands property (via TravelNest) again. Booked a last minute stay for a works do. Place itself is nice and comfortable. However no hot water meant a cold shower on either day. Requested an invoice which has still to arrive despite contact with Booking.Com who just don't want to know. Travelnest say it's up to the host and the host said they're not vat registered so ask booking.com. When I explained that this was the only time I had ever failed to get an invoice he just gave me the "computer says no" line .Called me a liar when I mentioned the hotwater and said they weren't made aware of it despite futiley contacting both travelnest and the host about it.

Superb hosts for an idyllic stay

This is a lovely flat and the hosts could not be more helpful and accommodating. And, it's only a short drive to Chapel Down distillery. A wonderful stay. Thank you.

This is a very basic place, not nice & not clean

The elevator was broken and we weren't told. Other tenants said it was broken before the day we arrived. We had to walk up 2 flights with our luggage and no assistance. The plastic edges of the stair treads were broken, creating a tripping hazard. The window shades that were there were broken - you couldn't put them up and down, they only stayed in one position and they were frayed and stained. Some windows didn't have shades. There were only 3 small bath towels for 3 people, no other towels. The manager claimed he didn't have any more towels, which wasn't true; after I complained, he brought a few more. And a roll of paper towels and some extra toilet paper. There was no bath mat. At least he was responsive. The mattress in one room was so bad we felt the springs all night, and had to spend 65 pounds to buy a mattress topper so we could sleep without getting poked. You can barely walk around the bed in one room, which is difficult when you're a couple, and the bed platform has sharp corners. The place was fairly clean, but the kitchen faucet was covered with water spots. The listing says parking is available. It doesn't say you have to buy a permit for some days, and it's available IF you can find a parking spot on the street. Fortunately, the manager arranged for a permit for us and we paid him for it. He wasn't very nice about it, complaining that he got our car registration at the last minute. Of course he did - we hired a car at the airport so we didn't know the registration number until we got there. He knew that was going to be the situation. We have stayed in many VRBO-type places all over the US and in other countries. This is the first time a property manager has ever been rude to me and argued with me, and it is the worst place we've ever stayed. The building also has commercial tenants. Sometimes we arrived to find the downstairs door from the sidewalk open, not fully closed nor locked. Fortunately, the apartment has a strong keypad lock. I would only recommend this unit if you need a cheap place and must be in that neighborhood. Otherwise, go elsewhere!

Perfect location for visiting local…attractions.

Perfect location for visiting local attractions, mainly Beamish Museum but we also managed to visit the Northumberland coast for the day which was a fairly short drive from the property. We had everything we needed at the house and at night was nice, clean and cosy to relax after visiting attractions.The host was more than helpful with any questions. Will definitely be returning in the near future now we have passes to the Beamish Museum .

Only interested in owners and not renters

Only interested in the owners who advertise with them, no support or willingness to believe the customers using them. I booked a property via booking.com and only found out that travelnest operate on behalf of the owner. A 200euro damage deposit was required through bank transfer which i provided, but the owner did not receive this and refused to check with their bank their end, citing that travelnest advised them that it is the renters sole responsibility to send the deposit, even though i provided official bank documents and everything I could to prove payment was made. Eventually the owner checked with their bank and lo and behold the money was there pending on their side. 8 days and my holiday in jeopardy due to the policy of this really dodgy outfit. Lots of 1 star reviews for a reason. Usually a hold on credit card or cash deposit is the norm, not a bank transfer into an account that isn’t anything to do with them. Will check next time that they are not involved in any future bookings on any platform. A message was sent to me from the owner who received it from travelnest stating what i have noted in this review.

Good communication after booking.

Good communication after booking.
Accommodation adequate for one night, one toilet roll and small amount hand wash left, dosent cost much for little toiletrie items.
Owner reply when requested to leave bag if unable to get in early was very condescending. Understand reason but could have been said better.
Clean and adequate accommodation for one night.
