Where do I start?
From the evening we arrived there were issues. To suggest that there are 6 cleaners appointed to this house is fanciful to the extreme.
Dirty dishes in the cupboards, spiderwebs in the shower (i actually walked into one in the shower door), clogged showers, fresh towels not ready yet. The sink in the bathroom upstairs leaked puddles of water on the floor, soaking the rug.
There is a check out time of 10am and a check in time of 4pm, I could live with the inconvenience if the place was spotless, but spotless it was not. More to the point, the cleaner was waiting at the bottom of the drive at bang on 10am, if not sooner. Talk about being ushered out the property.
A fun vacuum is what I would describe the outdoor facilities are. There are less instructions/warning signs at HMP Bellmarsh than there is around the pool and hottub area. Then to be told the owner has watched us in the hot tub on his CCTV, talk about an invasion of privacy.
The house has so much potential but it lacks care from whoever owns it, who I’m told is a property developer. The decor is dated and confusing, it just seems like every spare bit of furniture etc has been thrown in all together, for some reason unbeknown to anyone living; there are FOUR guitars in one of the living areas, perhaps someone told him the Beetles were stopping by!!!
The driveway needs serious work, we took 5 cars between 11 of us (the house can sleep more) and it’s a game of Tetris trying to manoeuvre cars around to get in an out, not to mention it is impossible to not have to reverse down the winding drive way. A mirror is also needed at the bottom to account for the tight small lane and oncoming cars, it’s dangerous.
We were incredibly unhappy to pay over 3,000 for what we received, everything went wrong that could go wrong and we were made to feel like we were asking for the world when in actual fact, we’re asking for the bare minimum.
I will not be coming here again, there are much better options elsewhere.
