Excellent location. Good, comfortable accommodation. Well equipped. We appreciated the welcoming phone call along with wine and biscuits. Soap in bathrooms was helpful. The book detailing local area is very well written with a personal feel. Happy to stay again and to recommend this property.

However, it is, or rather was filthy and it needs some basic maintenance and removal of mould. The bathroom floors are grey from dirt (not stained as we were able to clean parts of it and it turned our white socks to black). The kitchen smelled of grease - much better after we cleaned the yellow grease off the cupboards near the hob. The rusty fridge freezer smelled. We cleaned out the fridge including the food debris - it came up a different colour. The fridge drain is blocked-presumably the main cause of the smell. We cleaned out the top freezer drawer and the seal of the freezer removing food debris, a grey coating and seeds of some sort, perhaps melon. We removed the drinking water reservoir from the fridge only to find some part of it slimy and inside the lid black with mould. We didn't use it. We opened the dishwasher to be met by a foul smell. We cleaned the filter out and the smell soon went. We opened the cupboard doors to find food on plates and a broken plate. We put all the plates, cups and glasses through the dishwasher. We found many of the drawer handles to be sticky until we wiped them clean. We opened the cutlery drawer to find food crumbs in the drawer. We put all the cutlery through the dishwasher and washed out the tray. We found crumbs under the table and on one of the benches, which we cleaned. We found bits of tissue paper and cardboard on the bedroom floor. we picked them up and vacuumed - it looked much better. We then vacuumed the rest of the property - and almost filled the vacuum drum. We found cobwebs in every corner of the downstairs bedroom, so we dusted them. We found a plastic wrapper on the floor. We found plastic tags in the main bedroom. We found dog hair on the fabric sofa and so we vacuumed it. My son opened the drawer in the master bedroom chest of drawers to find it fell out onto his foot as the plastic stopper is broken. It then revealed mould on the back of the drawer and a clothes label inside the drawer. 90 minutes later, we felt able to unpack. I contacted the owner, the next day and she offered us a bottle of wine as compensation, which I understandably refused. Consider this our complaint. Please do respond.
