6/10 Okay

Beth F.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Really needs updating, bedrooms and bathrooms particularly. Beds and pillows were awful, sticky tables, dirty utensils, even make up on the towels. Smelt damp and musty. No more than 2 showers before it ran cold. Location ok and quiet despite being in amongst neighbours. Lots of ticks on the dogs after every local walk so be careful.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The house has a lot of potential but you are distracted by the terrible cleanliness of the property & poor maintenance. Which I see has been raised in previous reviews but its obvious this has not been actioned.There was dust everywhere, dirt & hair in the bath, debris on lounge floor, the outside picnic table was falling apart, etc.Would not recommend.
