I'll start with the positives:
Great location
Great views
The beds in the bedrooms were made up properly
Nicely sized oven and freezer, good stovetop.
Negatives:
Firstly unfortunately there was an issue where we had to pay an extra cleaning fee for leaving the house 'in a state's, which I never do and always leave it tidy! So it was upsetting and confusing. Additionally we were blamed for leaving rubbish 'down the street', we took our rubbish with us as the bins were full. So that was unfortunate.
There was mould EVERYWHERE, I cleaned a lot up, but there was still more. There was mould on the mattresses.
The outdoor furniture was all broken and unusable.
The BBQ was rusted and mouldy.
There was scaffolding out the front for an inexplicable reason.
The front door was broken and very hard to open and close.
The spare linen was shoved in the cupboard, not folded, and it was all polyester, unclear if it was clean or not.
The towels were musty.
I think this is a fair review. I certainly felt it was a beautiful house in a beautiful location and beautiful amenities.
The communication with David was good.
Unfortunately the cleanliness/broken furniture was disappointing and obviously the experience being blamed for things we didn't do was quite upsetting, however, I did pay up as requested.
I did read some disappointing reviews on here and went ahead with the booking anyway, but this time I think I should have listened.
It was still a lovely weekend with some close friends celebrating a wedding, and I had two little ones In tow. Beware the stairs if you have a young one who is obsessed with them!
