We were looking forward to our stay at Greystones Chapel after seeing the lovely pictures of it. The Chapel itself is a lovely building and very quirky, but unfortunately it lacked cleanliness and there were multiple issues with this property. There were a lot stains and dog hairs on the sofa and cushions and had a nasty smell.
Behind one of the beds on the floor it was filthy, full of dust and had stains on the headboard. On two of the doors the handles fell off. On a few occasions we had to shout to the others to let us out from the other side of the door! The first bathroom when you enter the property was smelly (don't think having bricks on the floor helped as it absorbs all sorts and smelt damp) The shower also was too hot, even on the coldest setting which was very uncomfortable.
If you stay here make sure you wash all mugs plates, cutlery and baking trays!! We had bought some pizzas on the first night to cook in the oven, and the baking trays had not been washed at all and were full of grease. They had been used and just put back without being washed up. The cutlery tray was full of crumbs, so again we washed that out and put all the cutlery in the dishwasher before we used any of it. The window panes by the stairs were filthy and had not obviously been cleaned for a very long time.
On one of the pockets in the pool table there was a kids ball stuffed down it quite far, which was hard to get out and couldn't be used until it was removed.
Such a shame, because this is really a beautiful place to stay, it just needs to be thoroughly cleaned after every guest has stayed and needs some attention to the things that need fixing.
