Disappointing
Our overall impression was of a property that has lots of potential, but is in serious need of TLC and repairs
The long lane to the property is extremely potholed, and although there has been building rubble laid recently, it has in no way resolved the issue.
We had expected a welcome pack, but found none.
We spent the first morning cleaning the property; dusty floors, hairs on bathroom floor and in bath, towel rail was loose and the base needed scrubbed to remove rust.
There was a number of pieces of chipped crockery, and glassware was sparce, (only 2 wines glasses).
Knowing that the property had a coffee machine we brought our own beans, only to find the machine in a cupboard, in a filthy condition, and not working.
Basic TV instructions, we could get Sky basic but unable to operate the Firestick.
The garden is a piece of farming land, boggy and deeply rutted in places.
The patio sits quite high off the ‘garden’ and a child or older person could easily fall.
The front step to the property consists of two breeze blocks that are not secured or level.
A dining table chair leg was so loose that it would have collapsed if someone had sat on it.
The location and view from the property cannot be faulted, however it requires a substantial upgrade.
We realise that are people who may not respect the property they are staying in however, management should ensure that issues are resolved in a timely manner, and regular inspections made before handover to next guests.
