Half the mattresses had no support being able to feel the bed frames through them. Crisps packets, socks and general dirt under beds. Mould issues in ensuites and cleanliness not up to standard, shower doors had what seemed like months worth of scum on doors and flooring dirty. Dishwasher didn't work correctly every time it was used everything came out dirty. The range oven only 1 of the ovens worked correctly, with some cooking utensils broken. Not enough drinking glass (tumblers) no pint glasses, I had to buy pint glasses for the property. Neither Hoover's had been cleaned out before we arrived so was full, had to clean it out myself to be able to use, there is no broom or dust pan and brush. The pool is missing tiles on the steps which caused injuries to feet. Living room smelt like baby sick. There is a lovely wood burner with enough logs for a couple of nights, may want to bring some extra with you as no where on site for purchasing extra wood, that I could find. There was multiple pieces of brown glass found by the picnic table at the front of the house. There are massive recycling & general waste bins on the property which neighbours was using throughout the week which took away some privacy as they had to come onto the property. Not enough food waste bags provided we were given 4 for 7 nights with 11 guests over the Christmas period. Lower ground floor bedrooms only some the radiators worked not all, these are the coldest rooms of the house with smells of damp so heating needs rectifying. Overall this is a lovely place to stay with enough room for 11+ guests to be comfortable, it needs a massive deep clean & some refurbishments to bring the standard up to what you are charging.

I suppose some parts of the house are getting tired but still a great place to have fun. A few things that do need addressing are⦠A ball for the table football Ripped pool table Maybe a hand towel in the toilet next to the utility room. A air fryer would be good Better WiFi. Particularly good was the swimming pool and both jacuzzis. The garden area and bbq. All bedrooms beds and pillows. We will be back!!!?
