Our first impressions weren't very good as the house wasn't cleaned too well. That was really off putting and there was even a thick layer of green sludge inside the dishwasher, so we couldn't use it the whole time, which was really a pain having to hand wash everything. Some of the dishes in the cupboard were even filthy!!
I contacted the owner regarding this within 10 mins of our arrival and never heard back from them. They never even addressed our issues. They never got back in touch with us and they still haven't even though we are home now!
There was mould on the ceiling of one of the bedrooms, which is a huge health hazzard!
There were only blinds on the windows of the bedrooms. Which meant 4am sunlight pouring into the room and cranky kids and parents due to the early wake ups. A bit of money spent on black out blinds would have been useful.
It was freezing when we arrived. The only air-con they had was in the kitchen area. And we had to pull out radiators covered with thick layers of dust on them to use in the bedrooms and living room to get a bit of warmth. We managed to get hold of some firewood for the fireplace to warm up the house a little at nights. The owners couldn't even supply firewood!! Our friends who stayed on 2 other other properties both had mountains of firewood supplied to them for their use!!
Not even enough extra blankets for each person to be able to have one to pull out from the cupboards!!
Very very stingey on what was supplied.
So quite an uncomfortable stay and the unclean feel of the property was really not pleasant.
Very stingey on towels supplied as well.
The only good thing I could say was that they allowed us to have our dog there. That was the only reason we chose this place. And the proximity to the beach. But even those things won't have us booking this place again unfortunately.
They need to sort out their air-con/heating situation, clean the place properly and thoroughly before every booking (including the dishwasher and dishes), put black out blind in bedrooms, ensure mould situation is sorted out, supply more linen/blankets/towels, proper heating in the house - NOT THESE RUBBISH FILTHY RADIATORS and supply ample amounts of firewood for the fireplace!
I wish I could say more positive things about the accommodation. But it was genuinely an uncomfortable stay, it was freezing inside the house (and I'm sure it would be stinking hot in summer too) as all they had were half broken fans for use
