We stayed at this property for a couple of weeks. After an 11-hour drive, we arrived to find that all of the upstairs shutters and windows had been left open. The heat inside the house was unbearable, and as a result we had to sleep on the lounge floor on our first night. We also found that the blind in the upstairs bedroom was broken.Having rented several properties in this area through VRBO over the years, we were surprised that there was no welcome folder or information pack with instructions for the house, local information or useful contact details. We also found prescription medication left in a kitchen drawer, which could have posed a serious risk had young children been staying at the property.Each morning we had to vacuum the kitchen floor because of the number of wood-boring beetles that had appeared overnight. They were on the worktops, kitchen table and floor, which was unpleasant. We do not know whether the issue had been treated, but it certainly wasn’t something we expected to deal with every day.The swimming pool had no cover, and the pool alarm had been removed, which may be a concern for families with young children.The surrounding area is beautiful, and we know it well, which is why we chose this property. However, we felt the house itself was looking tired, was not as clean as we had expected, we felt it was overpriced. It’s a real shame, as with better maintenance and attention to detail it could have been better.
