The peeling paint on the porch set a negative tone straight away. The property is a small first-time buyer home that has been furnished relatively cheaply. Both the sofa and the general furniture felt low to mid quality, and there was a lack of storage space , particularly in the kitchen.The cooker control knobs have faded so the settings are invisible, and the shower had a poor flow force. Another quirk was the kitchen sink, which gurgles loudly unless you keep the plug permanently pressed in. Also , the TV in the main bedroom is useless—it’s tiny and positioned right next to the headboard, making it impossible to watch.There were a few highlights. We arrived to a welcome pack containing coffee pods, crisps, and chocolate, which was a kind gesture. The washer-dryer was excellent. The standout feature is definitely the decking area; it overlooks the lake ( there are fish in there so bring your rod and you can fish from the balcony ) and offers a soothing view that provided much-needed relaxation away from the issues inside the house.Despite the great decking and the welcome snacks, the combination of furnishings and maintenance means I won’t be returning. It needs investment to be a great holiday rental and for the price I paid I expect a higher standard. I’d put this home at no more than 100 a night value in March.
