The house itself is fine, in a good location and the furnishings are grand if a bit worn and dated, which is acceptable for the price. The house was well equipped and there was good communication with the owner when arranging hand over of the keys, however overall we would recommend that the house is throughly deep cleaned.
We were very disappointed at the level of cleanliness when we arrived at the property. The floors, in particular kitchen and living room, were filthy and obviously hadn’t been hovered or washed recently.
Dirt, dust, leaves, stains & sticky areas, where spillages had not been cleaned up, were all over the floors. The first thing we did was hoover, as we had our 18 month old child with us who wanted to play with her toys. There was a bath mat in the main bathroom that was dirty, wet & had a clump of hair on it. The sheets on the double bed were not fresh & we changed them ourselves.
One area of concern is the mould growing on the living room ceiling, this needs to be addressed immediately. (Possible leak from the en-suite shower?)
Another issue we found disconcerting was the damage to the bathroom door - both sides of the door were damaged and the lock was broken. There was also some damage on the kitchen door. When we looked back at previous reviews some of these issues had already been described and we are very surprised that no action had been taken to rectify them. Overall a disappointing experience.
