Place is full of cobwebs. On arrival at 9:30pm after travelling 6 hours, there was no toilet roll in the property. One single roll left to use would've been nice. We went out to the local Morrisons which was luckily open. After doing a complete shop for Christmas, we got back again to discover the fridge absolutely stank, like food had been left in there for a while to go rotten. Now, this was at this point 11:30pm. Luckily we bought some cleaning spray in Morrisons so we could give the fridge a good clean before unloading our costly Christmas shop with fresh turkey, lamb and beef. Even after cleaning the fridge, the revolting smell remained all week. The property lacked a lot of basics, a few bin bags / washing up liquid / cloths would've been good. Also was only ONE tea towel for drying up dishes. The furnishings and fittings especially upstairs were very basic. The property doesn't feel homely at all, very unwelcoming. It could really do with a redecorate in some rooms. This was supposed to be a nice break for a memorable Christmas with our two kids and also - we brang my 72 year old mum who had recently diagnosed with dementia. Felt very deflated. We all found the beds uncomfortable too.

We booked this property last minute, mainly due to its location, the fact we could take our dogs & it was a decent price. Overall everything was good. The on street parking was fine, the property was larger than we thought it would be, it was nice and warm & the facilities were very good. But there were a couple of minuses too. The back yard could do with a decent power wash & a bit of love, and the foot pedal on the kitchen bin didn't work, so we had to lift the bin lid manually - only minor points but quite unhygienic. If you aren't intending to use the yard, & aren't too concerned about the bin, then this property is ideal for a family holiday as it's large, comfortable & near the facilities.
