The rooms were extremely cold and could not be heated to a minimum standard of comfort. Although the house is fully modernised - new windows, modern gas boiler, radiators - the system was set to provide the least amount of heat (i am an architect and familiar with older buildings and heating systems). We had a 6 month old infant and we ended up only using one room of the house as it was the only one we could keep warm (with a supplied space heater which gave off a horrible smell of old dust when used). The one large bed was of good quality, the other smaller thin and sagging between the frame, very uncomfortable. every surface of was covered with knick-knacks which needed to be moved to have any place to put anything down. The place was very difficult to find and ‘sylvia’ the host uses a management company for communication, who appear to have no real knowledge of the property. our final insult was being asked to pay 42£ to send a couple of forgotten items to a london address. absurd.
