When we arrived the heating wasn't on, this meant on an extremely cold and windy day we had to sit in our coats until nearly midnight as the house was freezing. It took ages to warm up as the walls and floors were icy cold and the wind was rattling through the front window as there is a gap.
The next issue was cleanliness...We knew it wasn't a modern house when booking but the previous reviews said it was very clean. We were horrified when turning the kitchen radiator to full to see what was down the back of there, same with the living room one, it is thick with dirt and hair/fluff. Also the fridge is not clean at all, we did not want to put our stuff in there. When we moved the plant pot on the kitchen work top which had obviously been outside there was a slug under it!
In regards to hygiene, to see a near empty jam jar and half used loaf in the fridge/freezer that people have used is very off putting. We saw you advertised as B & B but old used items like food stuffs should be thrown away.
The backyard that we asked was it safe and secure for the dogs wasn't as the gate is broken at the bottom so my dog escaped and I found him in the lane at the back. We tidied it up to make it better for the dogs as it was full of leaves and looked a right mess. We weren't even able to use the garden at the back as the steps are disintegrating and broken so dangerous and it is very over grown.
If we had been able to bundle the dogs back in the car the first day and go home we would have done, but it was unfair to them to give them another car journey.
