Shower & Toilet very good ( Clean towels and bed linen ) Minor concerns : Housekeeping- NOT Cleaned to any reasonable standard ( floors throughout were not vacuumed or washed ) . Skirting boards had dog fur ,and generally dirty . Kitchen utensils were mainly clean , but glasses and some other items were Not . General Maintenance: Access to the property was impeded by over grown hedges ( which also impacted on access to others properties- as it is a shared path ). Garden in need of some Love and attention , main gate had expanded ( due to damp / wet conditions- could not be closed properly ). Porch / vestibule door also suffered from expansion, and was difficult to close . Patches of damp On walls by small closet in hall, and on bedroom wall above window ( to the top left hand side ) . Windows and window locks in need of cleaning and lubrication ( as suffering from condensation, causing locks and handles to not work correctly). Minor issues that could have made this stay Excellent .
