Victorian House in Winslow Conservation Area Sleeps 5

No. 14 is in a charming, quiet location in the middle of Winslow's Conservation Area (an area of special historical / architectural interest). The pedestrian-only Church Street leads to St Laurence's Church, parts of which date to the 13th century.

This is our home when we are in England, we have had it refurbished to the highest specification, and we like to think that nothing has been forgotten!

Occupancy:
The maximum occupancy of the property is five guests, at any point during your stay.

Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, only two additional infants can be accommodated. An infant is defined as a child who sleeps in a cot. We can only provide one cot and one highchair.

Pets:
Pets are accepted on a case by case basis.

Bed linen and towels:
One set of bed linen and towels are provided for guests.

Arrival and departure times:
Arrival time is after 16:00 and departure time is by 10:00. Access is via a key safe, therefore it does not matter if you are arriving late at night.

All the rooms feature Hypnos beds, the most comfortable beds in the world. Hypnos hold the Royal Warrant in the United Kingdom for supplying mattresses and divans to the British Royal family. You will enjoy a wonderful night's sleep on these amazing beds and awake totally refreshed from a perfect night's sleep. There is one goose down and one duck down pillow for each guest.

Bed sizes and configurations:
Main bedroom (first floor): Four poster King size bed, Hypnos mattress.

Bedroom 2 (second floor): Super King zip and link Hypnos mattresses that can be made up as two single beds.

Child friendly facilities
A travel cot (without linen), high-chair and two stair gates are available for guests use.

Young children should be supervised due to the steep stairs leading to the first and second floors (though a stair gate is available for the ground floor level).

Initial consumables
A small quantity of initial consumables should normally be available (e.g., tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher power, washing up liquid, soap, washing powder, toilet rolls, etc), however, you should not expect the quantity of these provisions to be sufficient for the duration of your stay.

Accessibility, health and safety
This is an old property set over four floors and with steep staircases which could pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility, or carrying babies.

The front door of the property opens onto the street and guests with young children should take particular care to ensure that the children are supervised when the door is opened.

I would say the overall experience with this semi detached house in Winslow is great. The host Michael is very responsive and have all the guide, document, manual well prepared. You just need to spend a bit time to study all those information. Same like others reviews before, it is a high tech setting in the house with good IoT which can control most of the devices. The design is old and tradtiion. But the floor height is really low which I bumped my head few times when goto the basement and the toilet. Regarding the cleanness, there's quite a lot of dust especially in those corner areas. But when we arrived we still see the rubbish from previous guest still there, one bag is outside the door, and the one Blue and Purple recycle bag hand in the garden storage. Seems like the cleaner do not perform their duty. Just be aware that there is only one remote control for the xbox, and we spent some time communication with the host to get the password to login to play the game. Since there is no own car park, so parking on the street is not very easy, I can still find a slot in the main street but usually it is last one close to the house. I would still recommend this house if you would love to live in a old small town near to Milton Keynes.

Excellent Property in an Ideal Location
Property is located in the heart of Winslow. It’s very close to the High Street for easy walking access, but we did not hear any traffic noise during our stay. Very peaceful and quiet. Parking was challenging at times, but this was to be expected. Ceilings are low, which you need to watch out for if you are tall. Stairs are. steep and narrow. This was not not a problem because it is characteristic for this period of property. House is finished to a very high standard. Our host, Michael, was very responsible to all our questions.

Perfect house in historic setting
The house has been beautifully and sensitively renovated so it still feels like a cottage from the 18th century but it has every modcon you would want - with stylish lighting, nespresso machine, Sonos everywhere, boiling/drinking water tap, great bathroom. Wonderful comfortable beds and linen- felt like we were in a hotel. Village store at end of road and lovely church and grounds nearby. Couldn’t have been better. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful home and location
What can I say! The house is more beautiful in person that the pictures. The location is incredible for doing many things. We walked Winslow as we have family that lives there as well has took my daughter trick or treating for Halloween. Very easy to walk to store or restaurants and the street the house is on is like out of a fairytale. If you get a chance to visit this gem do so!

Our week in the Victorian House in Winslow
Victorian house superbly modernised to a high standard. Well equipped and stocked with essential and useful items. Approachable helpful owners. They compiled a fairly comprehensive write up of useful information related to house, instructions on how to use some of the items and equipment in the house, Winslow town and surrounding places of interest to visit and recommendations as to places to dine etc. We stayed for a week and visited many interesting and beautiful places in the immediate vicinity of Winslow and others further away. A busy holiday but we all thoroughly enjoyed it and have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

The house is nicely renovated with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The location is excellent for walking to local shops, pubs and restaurants. The check in and check out process was very easy. Parking is on the street but we never had a problem finding a space.

Great stay
Property is in great condition having been extensively refurbished to a high standard. Little neighborhood is very cute. Didn't have a problem parking two cars on the street at night. Only point of note is the steep stairs that you will need to take care negotiating.
