Arrived after check in time to find the owner still mopping the floors. The first thing that hit me was the strong musty smell and as I looked around I began too see the real state of this accommodation. It was certainly old and not the cleanest of places, in fact it's one of the worst I have ever stayed in. I decided to make a cup of tea and discovered the dirty old kettle didn't work. I asked the owner and she gave me another one even older and dirtier than the broken one. The toilet was like I had never seen before with a white small box attached behind it. When flushed it made the strangest sound like a brrrr noise. The light fitting hanging from the ceiling had no bulb so I asked the owner if she had one. I was told it didn't work and to use the wall lights. Kitchen very basic and old it did at least have a microwave. The shower wasnt fitted to the wall you had to hold it whilst you showered. The mats on the floor in bathroom and toilet were old and filthy. The small living area had an old dusty piano, and all the crockery were in an old cupboard. When I looked inside everything needed washing. In the bedroom the old double bed had an ancient mattress, it looked like it had material stuffed inside and was very lumpy. None of the bedding was put on the bed, I was shown where it was when I asked and I had to put it on. Even the quilt cover was too small for the quilt. Suffering with a chronic back problem the bed was so uncomfortable I decided to sleep on the old sofa bed in the living room. I stayed one night, the whole place made me feel dirty and I didn't want to touch anything, I hardly slept and didn't even use the shower. When I closed the door the musty smell was so overpowering to the point it made me feel ill.
The owner didn't speak hardly any English and I didn't speak much French so I decided to just leave early the next day. There were so many things to complain about I knew she would never understand. On the plus side it was surrounded by fields and was very quiet and peaceful but everything else made the stay miserable.
I definitely will never stay here again.
