First thing we noticed was cobwebs in the kitchen. The kitchen cupboards smell damp. You have to wash the plates etc first as they smell of the cupboard. Then leave plates and cutlery out on the top. The whole downstairs needs updating. The sofa is really uncomfortable and smells of dogs. Upstairs front bedroom smells of dog *** as does the landing. The carpets are thread bare. The bathroom shower mat had long hair on it, we have short hair so definitely wasn't ours. The toilet had yellow stains at the back, so you can imagine what that was. All pans in the kitchen are covered in foil hiding the age of them. All in all, definitely won't be back. There was a mistake with the booking, should have been sat to sat but cleaners turned up on the Friday and we had an hour to pack up and go. Never again.

Absolutely vile in terms of cleanliness. We had to clean the entire house before we used it. Bathroom covered in black scum. Dreadful smell coming from bathroom upstairs which made us refuse to use it. My husband vomited when emptying the bins from the smell under the bin liners. Had to descale the kettle. Had to wash all kitchenware before use. Bedding made my daughter have an awful reaction all over her face. Went to use hoover when we left and loads of brown liquid came pouring out of the pipe/hose. Flies everywhere. Toilet seat downstairs not attached properly and we nearly fell in the toilet when we used it. Cobwebs and dirt on skirting boards and ceilings. It really shouldn't have been let out in that state.
