  If we are in the area again we will without question stay here again. Thank you to the hosts for making Klub House the perfect place.

• "We greatly appreciated the bright contemporary decoration of Kub House."

  The location was ideal for visiting family and friends in both Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We loved the peace and quiet...and the owls. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fantastic although would have appreciated a blind in the bathroom. We had one major concern and that was the seating. As older people (70s and 80s) the sofa was unusable unless doctored with all the cushions in the house and it was only the purchase of a large camping chair which enabled us to have any degree of comfort at all. If the owner is not able to address this matter it would be helpful if there could be a disclaimer added to the description saying 'not recommended for those with mobility issues' Apart from that (which of course for us was major) there was everything else there needed for a lovely stay.

  We are very pleased you had a good stay in Kub and sorry to hear that the sofa was too low. We have taken your comments on board, thank you, and the new sofa has a higher seating position, so there should be no issues getting in or out of it. Thank you for letting us know.

• "Lovely thank you."

  I used a floor cushion on the settee as it was a bit low for me. I also watered the plants.

• "A lovely place to relax in a quiet village."

  A comprehensive guide on the place and surrounding area which was great. This is place I would recommend to friends because of the cleanliness of the property and price. The only negative feedback was the mattress . It was very soft and we didn't sleep well

  Nice walks in the countryside & easily accessible to the local amenities. The Kub house is very comfortable & after a long day exploring felt like coming home. Would definately recommend.

• "Lovely little place in a beautiful location."

  Loved the birdsong at dusk. Nice TV, bed and shower too. Would suggest adding your What3Words location on the app though as the post code sent me to Wigginton village.

• "We had a lovely relaxing comfortable stay at Kub House."

  Set in a peaceful area with Champneys practically next door. I would recommend this place but a couple of things: dishwasher & kettle needed cleaning/descaling. Garden furniture needs attention - deck chairs were dirty and chair cushions for the wooden furniture would make them more comfortable to sit on. This furniture is not what is shown in the pictures.

• "I've just had a fantastic stay at the kub house."

  The location is very quiet and the accommodation itself is clean and very comfortable. It's a great place to stay as a base for exploring the Chiltern hills as you're right between Wendover woods and Ashridge. Tring is a lovely town as well (periwala restaurant highly recommended!). Thankfully for a great stay!

  Thanks very much Edward. We are so pleased you had a good stay here. Thank you very much for your comments … it makes the world of difference to us. And yes, it is very good as a base to explore the Chilterns (with maybe a day trip or two into London to mix things up a bit). Property Owner

• "It is a wonderful, cozy place to stay with lots of privacy and everything you need is available in the house."

  Karen and Richard give you, as visitor, a very warm welcome without even being there! I can recomment KUB house to everyone who wants to feel at home without being at home.

  Thank you very much Ester! We are so glad you had such a good time here. Property Owner

  Great quiet rural location within easy access of Berkhamsted, Aldbury and Tring. Karen & Richard were great hosts, very knowledgeable, friendly and responsive to any queries. Would highly recommend. Fixtures and furniture exquisite.

  Thank you very much for your comments. It was lovely having you both stay here. I hope your new house is everything you want! Property Owner

• "We recently spent an all too short weekend at Kub House, it was lovely!"

  It had everything we needed and more, its in a very quiet and private area, totally separate from the owners house by quite a distance compared to other holiday cottages within owners grounds, you feel you have a high degree of privacy, it has its own totally separate drive and parking area which I think is undersold in the listing, Kub House doesn't really feel like its within the owners property as such. The bed is VERY comfy with great pillows, we both slept extremely well, which is unusual for us when we go away!, plus there's an excellent shower to wake up to. The kitchen area and facilities were all of high quality and everything you could need was there, including milk, coffee and biscuits etc, thank you again Karen. Very comprehensive and interesting information was provided, its well worth a read, they certainly covered all bases there!. The local farm shop and cafe was worth a visit, the breakfasts are awesome, don't snack before hand!. There has been negative feedback in the past re the boiler making noise on occasion, we were both apprehensive about this, but are happy to say it has been somewhat over exaggerated to say the least, the only reason we could rarely and barely notice it at all was because we went out of our way to try to hear it!, after that it wasn't noticed. Although the garden area isn't huge, it is lovely, beautifully kept, peaceful and again private. The attention to detail and quality of Kub House was very pleasing. Karen was always available by phone if needed, although we had no reason to contact her, Karen went out of her way to help us with an issue we had at the end of our stay that had nothing to do with the property, which was very much appreciated, thank you again. We usually don't do do reviews because there's often as many negatives as positives to report, on this occasion we both felt strongly that Kub House and Karen deserved a very strong thumbs up! C & R

  Thank you so much for your comments. It was lovely to have you stay at Kub. Yes, you are correct about the boiler - we had a new one fitted a few months ago and there are no more occasional boiler noises! Property Owner

• "Very clean, comfortable bed and pillows and well equipped."

  shower excellent. Sofa and outside furniture uncomfortable. Drying rack in the bathroom an outside rack would be more suitable in the summer. Fan in bathroom on the ceiling so couldn’t reach so used open window as means of ventilation. Property had a slight musty smell.

• "Well planned layout at a nice location."

  A UK kingsize bed is unfortunately small compared to a EU standard bed and 30cm narrower compared to a EU kingsize. The bed was still ok-ish, the real setback is the seating. As mentioned in other reviews the couch needs a workaround, the other seating was also only for looks but not for use. Proper seating would make this cottage one we would return. Unfortunately the owners have ignored many signals. Also the fridge and dishwasher were the noisiest we ever had. Both sounded like a broken coffeegrinder. Otherwise still a lovely cottage, with mentioned improvements we would definitely recommend.

• "Everything was as described."

  And immaculately clean. Very peaceful. And pleasantly warm. The only thing that annoyed me was that I was asked to empty all the bins. And I forgot to empty the bathroom one. But felt the rate I paid was steep enough to cover that, plus the stripping the bed! I've never had to do that before leaving a property before. I'm always happy to leave things tidy. But I felt this was a bit excessive. There was also an odd noise, like a low hum, that went on for long periods in the evening/nighttime. I couldn't figure out was it was, but it sounded like a car with its engine running just outside. But it wasn't that. It unnerved me a little, and kept me awake a couple of times. So I didn't sleep as well as I expected. Apart from that, the bed was super-comfy, and lovely that the duvet wasn't too big and heavy! Everything else was fab!

• "We have just spent a thoroughly enjoyable month staying at The Kub."

  It is a most relaxing place . It is so cleverly designed - there is everything there you could possibly need in its compact space. We stayed there in January and it has been so warm and cozy. We must go back in the Summer as there is a delightful private garden with seating and a barbecue. We very much enjoyed the wildlife in the garden. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner, who is so kind and welcoming. A perfect place with the delights of outstanding countryside as well as easy access into London.

  Hello, thank you so much for your lovely comments. It was great to meet you and have you stay in Kub. I hope your house move goes as smoothly as possible and of course, you would be very welcome to stay again. Kind regards Karen Property Owner

• "A nicely decorated "Kub" house."

  TV signal was not always very good and we had to get used to the bed and the low sofa, but we would book it again next time. We would have liked it if the hedge next to the house was less high, so that we could have enjoyed the garden. But we certainly enjoyed it and can recommend it to anyone.

• "A good base for getting around the area."

  We were able to visit London (via train from Tring), Windsor, Aylesbury, St Albans and the local towns of Tring and Berkhamsted were also great and had loads of bars and restaurants. The accommodation was small but comfortable. The only negatives were the outside space needed maintaining - the grass area had not been mowed and could be described as 'relaxed mowing' but there was none of this in the owners garden (doesn't look like the pictures). Also the pebbles and pathway were full of weeds. Not great as a first impression. The garden furniture was also a bit tatty and not comfortable. We visited on the hottest week of the year and didn't really sit out as it wasn't pleasant. The only other negative is that there was not an electric kettle it was a gas one which took ages to boil and consumed a lot of wasted gas. Would expect and electric kettle in a modern property.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. In the garden we were trying to establish a more meadow type feeling with mown areas where you sit but clearly that hasn’t come across very well! We will cut all the grass short in future, ditto the path. We haven’t supplied an electric kettle as the kitchen worktop surface is smallish however we will get one that is as compact as possible for future guests. Thanks again for your comments.

• "Kub House is a comfortable and private holiday home."

  It is designed and decorated to a high standard and is a relaxing and peaceful space to be in. It is clearly well insulated (definitely no need for thermals!) and very quiet apart from the birdsong. The outside area is tastefully designed to provide separation and privacy from the main house and offers lots of secluded space for sitting out, bbq’s and parking.

  If you are looking for an intimate lovenest, for you and your partner - this is the place for you! I was very lucky in the sense that both of these criteria met my needs - somewhere quiet, but comfortable, where I could work uninterrupted, but be inspired by the beautiful surroundings (2 mins walk in any direction and you are in the rolling chilterns); but still have all the mod-cons that I needed to get through - Comfy bed, great shower, good internet connection, kitchen facilities (fridge, oven, kettle, dishwasher and washing machine) - perfect for the two weeks that I needed it for. The firepit outside makes an excellent addition, allowing you to cook, and eat, outside in the glorious English country air - no sounds of cars - just birds, all day long, followed by bats, foxes, deer, and badgers at night. In short - it was idyllic - and our hosts, Karen and Richard, are extremely friendly and helpful - responding to messages quickly, and their aim is to make your stay as easy and stress free as it can be. Oh, and Karen has an amazing list of entertaining/amusing websites that she enjoys talking about - make sure you get some of those from her before you leave! Would I stay again - undoubtedly!

• "Lovely stay."

  Quiet and peaceful location. Clean and reasonably comfortable. Sofa was a little low for us oldies but the floor cushions placed under the sofa cushions solved that problem. Well equipped but a shelf above the microwave would be useful for groceries that do not require the fridge. Ideal location for walkers with so much beautiful countryside around..

  The property had everything that we needed and was well maintained and very clean. My only recommendations for improving would be to install a small shelf in the shower, and a bird table outside, so guests can put out food to attract the wide variety of birds in the area.

  Situated on a quiet private road in woodland it is a peaceful retreat and ideal during the current difficult times. There are numerous thoughtful touches which make it a real home from home. We appreciated the quality and range of cookware and utensils as well as the smart tv with Netflix. The shop in Wiggington is staffed by cheerful, helpful staff and stocks a wide vatiety of items including newspapers. We enjoyed our meal in the friendly local pub which now has a heated marquee in the garden. If this is the location you want to be in, you would be hard pressed to find a better property fir your visit.
