Open and airy in summer, cosy log fire in winter. Fabulous, light airy and stylish home. The accent is on modern convenience and quality appliances, crockery, cutlery etc., balanced with some fine antiques. This house provides a lovely space for your family to quickly feel at home and enjoy longer stays. There is a downstairs utility room and separate toilet with a family bathroom upstairs. There is a further en-suite bathroom in one of the four double bedrooms. The gas central heating is supplemented by a log burning fire which is lovely on cold winter or even autumn evenings. This home is well situated in a tree lined road with adequate parking for up to three cars. Six pubs and restaurants are within about 5 minutes walk. One of these, the River Mill, is delightfully situated on the Great Ouse, on the edge of a nature park with some lovely cycling / walking. There are also various convenience shops and takeaways within a 5 minute walk. St Neots town centre, a 15 minute walk or 5 minute cycle ride, provides excellent non-chain Italian / Chinese / Thai / Turkish / Indian restaurants as well as the usual national chain restaurants. The drive to the A1 is under 5 minutes and the railway station, about ten. The kitchen is well supplied with double eye-level Bosch oven, dish-washer, wide gas hob, slow cookers, fridge freezer, wine fridge, air fryer as well as Ninja 15 in 1 multi-cooker, ice -maker, Dualit toaster, rice maker etc. The dining table extends for eight people, and there is Denby tableware and Villeroy and Boch cutlery for more than eight settings. The living room has a Cambridge / Bowers & Wilkins hi-fi, with CD, Blu-Tooth and deck with a good range of vinyl records. TV and XBox. There is also a Cambridge hi-fi in the room with 2 single beds, along with very heavy powerful Fender amp and various guitars. There are numerous board games in the side-board. For families with children who like Lego an absolutely huge collection can be made available. It’s a fun, friendly house with a great vibe. Whilst there is strictly no smoking inside there are areas to smoke outside, by the fire pit or on the decking. For environmental reasons I do not run the hot tub between October and March. The hot tub is open from 1st April to the end of September. In addition to English I speak French, Indonesian and Cantonese, albeit not as fluently as I once did! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycles ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycles - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 1:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs and cats only 1 total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings and birthday parties ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Parties and events (including family gatherings and birthday parties) are allowed on site; maximum attendees: 30 Host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Apr 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easter long weekend stay We have just spent an amazing 5 nights here with friends ageing from 48 - 72 and a 14 year old. Carl was brilliant in communicating with me when I booked for the group and met us with a warm welcome on arrival. He gave a tour of the house giving us all the information we needed. Even though we had visited the area before he gave us some brilliant ideas for takeaways and restaurants we hadn’t visited before. A great place to stay with an easy walk or bus into St Neots. We would all thoroughly recommend. ##### Cheryl R. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James M. Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous property, perfect location for us We stayed for 2 nights as we had a wedding in Bedford and reception at Bassmead Manor. The property was easily big enough for us all (5 in total, 2 couples and a single), really well equipped with some great little extras like record player and records, dart board (outside) and darts, jaccouzzi (we didn’t get time to use it :( ) . The house is a cab ride away from the town and rail station and most importantly for us, Bassmead Manor. Our host was there to greet us and show us some of the less straight forward things and we were given instructions, hints and tips for the house and St Neots via email and in person. Communication was brilliant. St Neots itself is lovely and the Riverside and town centre have lots going on with plenty of restaurants and pubs. Very enjoyable stay, thank you! ##### James M.
