At first glance, the property was lovely. Welcome pack is generous. The layout and flooring of the kitchen is nice and spacious.
The carpet on the landing and stairs was dirty. Though all other flooring area has been cleaned.
The bed is below standard. If you look underneath, we found it was held up by bricks to support. Due to my wife having spinal and neck surgery, this resulted in us have to leave a day early as she had severe migraines sadly throughout the Christmas period. Day of writing this review Christmas Eve 2022.
The wardrobe in the main bedroom almost came down when my wife opened the door. If I had not been there, this would have resulted in an accident. The leg on the bottom right is very loose, and the whole wardrobe needs securing to the wall. This is a Hazard, especially if you have children.
It would be nice if there was a television in the bedroom and back room where the conservatory is as we believe this would give us the full benefit of choosing which room to spend time in.
The shower unit is very high, so if you are short or if you have had spinal or shoulder injuries, you are going to struggle to operate. When you turn the shower on full power, the temperature goes cold. To have it warm, the power needs to be low.
The bathroom is big and spacious, very nicely tiled, though it could also do with some towel rails.
On speaking with the host, they rely on a cleaner and maintenance people. Sadly, in my opinion, they have not been maintaining the property to standard and the host needs to do more to keep things in check.
The place definitely has excellent potential. The sofas we found really comfortable and cosy. The conservatory area is a nice feature for your morning coffee. Free Wifi and a good welcome pack.
I don't know how this property received a rating of 8.5 when I compare it to other properties we have stayed in, for us it was more like 3 - 4.5.
