When we arrived we thought the property was beautiful from the outside and the garden was well maintained. The instructions we received were to look for the black gate with the cattle grid - however after parking there, we then needed to go back out and in through the blue gate which was where the parking for the guest house actually was. A small detail, but just wanted to mention it. There was a strange smell when we entered the house - I though it was just the age of the building but we could also hear a hissing noise and about 10 minutes later discovered that one of the gas rings on the cooker was partially on and gas had been leaking for a period of time. So that could have been really dangerous, but was resolved by opening all the doors and windows. We were then left with just the musty old house smell, which is to be expected of a property of that age. We then discovered that one of the beds only had a mattress protector - no sheet, which wasn't ideal. The next day we discovered a new sheet in the cupboard so we used that - no idea why it wasn't made up correctly in the first place? My main issue was the lack of cleanliness - given that we ourselves were charged a 100 euro cleaning fee as part of the rental cost - i assume the previous tenants were as well, so I'd love to know what this was actually spent on? There were dead flies and spiders everywhere. Opening the blind on the window above the bed caused a rain storm of dead flies and bits of flies which landed on the bed. There were clumps of animal hair under the beds and downstairs. I also noticed used personal care items in the bathroom bin, a used facecloth in the shower, mould on one of the bedroom walls (very dangerous for people with breathing issues), a very dirty looking cushion and throw on the sofa. Overall, its an old property and really needs a good clean between rentals and a deeper clean every month. Dust away the cobwebs, brush up the dead flies, wash the floors, put some dehumidifier pots there to soak up the damp and some nice smelly things in to make the place more inviting. Not a property you could chill and relax in, just about good enough for somewhere to sleep when you're out and about. We definitely deserve better and will be more fussy the next time we book a holiday.
