Tachbrook pet-friendly rentals

House was so comfortable and suitable for two families of 5 to share Christmas in London. House clean and well equipped. Easy to access transport routes and supermarkets. Communication was spot-on. We loved it.

Stayed for 10 nights over xmas 2022 - big mistake. The host was easy to communicate with and responsive to queries and Check in was prompt with good instructions. Location excellent with tube and convenience stores at the door step. The view was also amazing of the Thames. Unfortunately the apartment is let down by the lack of attention to detail. The photos misrespresent the condition of the unit - mould in the showers and around windows/doors, cracked bathroom tiles, bath didn’t drain properly because the plug hole could hardly be opened, walls and kitchen hadn’t been wiped down in ages as the dirt left on the wipes I used were filthy. A wet white pillow case had been left in the dryer which was mouldy, the one tea towel provided was disgusting - large hole and very worn - you wouldn’t use it to wipe the floor. Host did not provide an alternative after being advised, so I ended up purchasing my own. Towels were so thin and you could feel the springs in the beds. Kettle was disgusting inside - really needed replacing. I just boiled water on the stove. I understand That England is damp and hence the mould but isn’t this something that should be Checked and cleaned prior to checking in? Some bleach would have helped immensely. Sadly this apartment has not been maintained and many aspects are worn and tired. The cleaners should be sacked as the unit felt grimy and didn’t feel I could trust the cleanliness. Our friend was staying in Anchor House tower and this unit is in Bridge house. Her apartment was a lot newer and modern. If you can find an apartment in the Anchor House tower I think it will be more modern. Her apartment was perfect. Unfortunately this site does not allow traveller photographs so I can’t upload examples. If I had known the true condition of the apartment I wouldn’t have booked it and spent 10 nights in it (including Xmas). Go elsewhere or just be prepared for what you’ll be getting (bring bleach, wipes and own tea towels).

Compact but had all we needed on a great loaction
