Location is stunning! As stated in host blurb, this house is old but of a good size. We were completely fine with the house being 'old' but still believe there should be minimum standard. I don't believe the 'location & view' made up for the lack of 'working' fixtures and fittings. The stove top was not working and on day 2 the oven element fell down, the BBQ was dirty and un-useable, so cooking for two families became a challenge. Door and window latches need attention as were incredibly hard to operate with the front door not locking at all. We like to leave a clean property on departure but found this difficult as the vacum-cleaner was blocked and could not find a broom/brush anywhere. There were no rubbish bags or council stickers. There was also a lack of cleaning products. We have stayed in many properties and are gutted that this one didn't live up to the hype of other reviews. Many of the issues are easily fixed with a trip to Kmart/Mega10 ie: toilet roll holder, privacy screen, shower heads. I think its time for the host to do a little maintenance to protect their asset.
