Had to call Sykes - wait for them to contact the host. Bedding & towels smelt very musty. Sofas very uncomfortable. Decor very tired & could do with updating

The owner could not be present at check in which we didnât mind at all. However when contacted he asked me if we could put the bins out on Thursday. They actually get collected on a Wednesday-luckily the neighbour had put it out. I was quite uncomfortable with the neighbour directly opposite having a key to the property as they could see when we werenât in. The âgymâ is pointless. The pull up bar is half hanging off the wall and unsafe. The patio furniture was in a pile outside and unusable. The toilet seat in main bathroom was dirty and broken. My daughter nearly hurt herself on this. The sockets in main bedroom donât work-not one close to the mirror to do hair/makeup. The lights above the beds some work some donât. There are no property instruction/welcome pack so we had no idea that the heating in the living/dining room was actually the skirting boards. The kitchen was grubby-used scourer pads and bits of âstuffâ just left on window bottom. The sofa in the living room is extremely uncomfortable. Both showers in bathroom and en-suite were dirty with the shower curtain over the bath needing to be thrown away with dirt and marks along the bottom. Every tap had limescale build up. We did enjoy our week away but did not enjoy our time spent inside the property. The smoke alarm upstairs is hanging off the ceiling-not sure if it functions. We did not contact the owner for any issues as we felt they could not have been resolved during our stay. The property needs a refurbishment.

house could do with some general updating but it had just about everything you need although a few more pots would have been useful
