Laurels

I stayed here a few months ago, and after much deliberation, I feel duty-bound to leave this review—if only to warn others. Under no circumstances would I recommend staying here. From the moment I arrived, the so-called “hosts” created an atmosphere so uncomfortable that I genuinely struggled to relax. Their attitude was unwelcoming, borderline hostile, and riddled with unnecessary rules that made me feel more like an unwelcome intruder than a paying guest. Breakfast? Not at the time I requested. Instead, I was given a yogurt—but with strict instructions that I could not eat it in my room. Apparently, the concept of guest comfort is entirely lost on them. The check-in process was beyond patronising—a long, drawn-out lecture on every tiny, insignificant detail of the room: which switches could be used, which were off-limits, don’t touch the blinds, don’t adjust the heating, here’s how the shower works (as if I’d never seen one before). It wasn’t hospitality; it was an exercise in control. The whole thing felt less like an introduction to my stay and more like an insufferable brag about the house itself, which I had absolutely no interest in. The worst part? The feeling that at any moment, the host might appear to enforce their draconian, joyless rules. It was oppressive. I’ve stayed in many places, and never have I felt so unwelcome or restricted. I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT STAY HERE. Avoid at all costs.

Amazing place to stay. Very accommodating, I booked late and it was no problem.

Thank you Stan! Loved every part of my stay. Stan and his wife were very friendly, picked me up from Leez priory where I attended an event. Offered me a selection of breakfasts in the morning. Couldn't help but ask about their beautiful house - built from the ground up, the house is very modern with its spiral staircase and underfloor heating. I already wish I was back in the room, such a comfortable bed, and a clean wet room shower. Peaceful stay and great service. Would recommend to everyone
