We did have problems with the cleanliness the oven was filthy, there was all sand and bits on the living room floor, the dish washer was full of dishes, the lights in the down stairs flat was flashing all the time ( which I phoned about on Saturday and left a message but nobody got back to me), the washing machine wash broken ( couldnât open the door)and we could have done with a rail for the stairs because they were a bit steep. In saying all that we had a lovely time and all the bedding was spotless.

Some comments to explain my scores: I believe the cleaning had been done with âblue rollâ paper towels as bits of it were still stuck to the shower, sink, and taps and needed to washed off. Many of the glasses had to be rewashed as they were grimy/greasy, as were taps in the kitchen. The bath towels werenât great. As they were microfibre they didnât completely dry you and left you feeling damp (and picking blue fluff off yourself for the rest of the day!) The flight of stairs up from the ground floor would benefit from a handrail. Please can someone take a can of WD40 to all the doors - the creaking was tremendous! Overall, the property was excellent and just a couple of minor tweaks could make it perfect - would definitely recommend it as an awesome place to stay!
