The holiday home was very dated and tired looking. Facilities need updating. Shabby old furniture and kitchen cabinets need attention. Garden untidy and overgrown but the owners were struggling to get a gardener. House was generally clean and bed was clean and lovely and comfortable. Proximity to town centre good and close to amenities and house had driveway for our car. Caretaker next door very friendly and helpful. Just a pity the house interior could have been better. Kettle needed descaling, grubby settee. It was a bit depressing.
