2/10 Terrible

Susan F.

Liked: Cleanliness

Unbelievably overpriced and pretty terrible

Arrived to clean property. Sofas and all beds comfortable. Place was however terribly lacking . There was nowhere to hang your towel. The main downstairs bedroom lacked furniture for such a big space. It needs a chair , table or dressing table. We couldn’t find wine glasses and when we did were surprised by the mosh mash of poor quality glasses. Also not enough for our party of 8. . Sheets and towels absent and required us to phone office. Barbecue nearly blew up in our faces and we had to replace gas which required phoning office and then going out to purchase some gas. Very unsafe. Back garden had tree stumps and broken branches all over . Front furniture in outside area was filthy and cigarette butts surrounded it. Bins were full to brim so we couldn’t fit our rubbish in and had to drag them up steep driveway. Outrageous price for a property that didn’t even supply a set of decent wine glasses. Very disappointed.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness

All of us were not happy and left the next day although we had booked for more nights. Not Happy.

The property and furniture are tired and not as clean as expected. We ended up sweeping the yards & redoing dishes as well as killing insects most of the night. The beds were uncomfortable very old.
