The house and location is spacious and full of character. However, there were a number of issues. Just 2-3 weeks in advance of our stay, we were advised that we were losing the first day of our stay. We were also advised that there was no wifi available. We were given explanations for both of these but the explanation was not satisfactory especially as it was so close to our booking and it was peak season and we had little alternative but to accept. Upon arrival, as we said earlier the house was full of character, but we were very upset that the house was not properly prepared for our stay. ....
1. Surfaces had not been properly cleaned, crumbs and dust on kitchen table, kitchen worktop and coffee table
2. The coffee pot had been left on the hob with coffee left in it
3. Animal hairs all over the sofa in the main living room, also on floor rug
4. It looks like someone had literally just left the house and put their stuff to one side within clear vision, eg toothbrushes, etc,in the bathroom.
This was not the standard we expect for accommodation rented through Airbnb. We were given a discount and the option of someone coming in to address the cleaning. However, we would have preferred to pay full price and for the place to have been properly ready for our stay.
