I wouldn't recommend a stay in this property - the photos, description and testimonials posted bore very little resemblance to the property we stayed in this June.
We had originally booked to stay 8 nights as a family (2 small children) but we found it so dirty and in such a neglected state of repairs that we moved out at the earliest opportunity and found alternative accommodation for the rest of our holiday.
Specific issues we saw include:
- Really poor level of cleanliness with animal hairs all over the downstairs bedding and furniture, dirty floors and bathrooms throughout and the oven, microwave, grill and BBQ had not been cleaned. In the case of the microwave I could see what the last person to use it had eaten as bits of food had been left inside from a previous meal.
- We found used cups and cutlery left in the dishwasher when we arrived, and even dishes taken straight out of the cupboards had to be re-washed as they had been put away with dried food crusted on
- Dangerous maintenance e.g. bars supposed to protect against the drop from Mezzanine floor had not been fixed, so they could be dislodged easily (and were by a toddler), opening up a dangerous 10ft+ drop onto a tiled floor below
- Railing on downstairs steps was so loose that any weight put on it moved both the attached stairs and the kitchen floor
- Practically every single wardrobe door in the downstairs bedroom was off its hinge, there were handles missing from cupboards in all rooms and a kick board had fallen off in kitchen and was left broken on the floor
- Unable to use the oven without use of a torch as the temperature gauge and functions could not be read (backlight gone and not replaced). Torch provided by owner (!)
- Taps in downstairs and upstairs bathrooms so loose they're almost breaking off
- Practical limitations upstairs such as no useable bedroom curtains, no door on the bathroom/toilet and nowhere to hang clothes as the wardrobe was already full of belongings just left there
- And more sadly...
I contacted the owner a few times during our short stay to let her know of our issues, unfortunately she refused to take any action and denied that there were any problems. I can see now from other reviews that we're not the only ones to have had issues; it's just a shame for me that these reviews were posted after I'd already booked so I missed them. Hopefully anyone looking now has a clearer picture of this property.
