September 2020
The house is in quite a nice area with a fabulous view.. The house was not as clean as we expected especially with expected caution with Covid, so we spent the first hour cleaning and wiping all the surfaces. We also selected the pots and cutlery we would use and washed them up and kept them separate. We found pans and oven trays that had been used and put back in the cupboards without being washed up, so clearly the house had not been checked and cleaned prior to our arrival. The promised welcome provisions were also absent.
The bathrooms need replacing, especially the one on the first floor which is quite simply not fit for purpose; Small, old, dirty. We gave this feedback to the owner, who explained they are due to be replaced this winter following a delay due to the covid outbreak.
The kitchen and lounge areas are acceptable, but lack comfy seating.
To our surprise, the gardeners turned up on the Thursday (not the day of change over) and let themselves in through the house to get to the garden accompanied by a dog.! This is supposed to be a Pet free house, but the gardeners dog didn't seem to count. another point of concern, also not Covid safe practice while the house has guests in residence.
I would not recommend this house without all of the above being rectified.
