Bedding on the double bed upstairs needs replacing so boobly and well used its uncomfortable on the skin. Layer of dust on the heater in bathroom and dust under furnishings. Table cloth in kitchen is ripped in several places. Could be an amazing place if updated. Highlight of the place is the covered hot tub.

Had problems with accessing the key safe,would buy a new one if mine. The cleanliness was not as good as expected,the ingress of woodlice of all sizes on a daily basis was off putting as was finding dead carcasses of same in all rooms downstairs which shouldn't have been there if a thorough cleaning had taken place.The divan bed downstairs was not connected together and would come apart at the slightest touch and reveal that cleaning of underneath had not taken place for quite some time.The mattress of the divan bed downstairs was very hard(like sleeping on a plank).We opted to use just the lower floor because of the location of the bathroom. The heating instructions for use was very misleading,it mentions the main control being adjacent to the family bathroom upstairs,took some time to understand how to use the radiators.(No instructions for these). Our pets biscuits were in a bowl in the kitchen and these were coated one morning with slug or snail slime as was the cloth it stood on,could not find the culprit but there was a large gap in the corner where the kick boards should meet. Sorry if my comments seem harsh and negative,but I think the property owners should be made aware of these failings.
