The property needs to be cleaned thoroughly after checkouts. Kitchenware needed cleaning as it had dried food marks. Oven trays could do with replacing as they have burnt food marks etc. Dishwasher not cleaned with food at the bottom. Fridge was not working. This should have been sorted before check in but we had to flag it. The owner of the property responded quickly to repair the fridge but it took 2 attempts to get it working leading to food spoiling in the meantime. This messed up the first few days of our holidays. A cleaner was sent to clean some of the areas and utensils etc in the kitchen and the floors and vacuum-cleaned when we flagged this up but not all the cleaning could be done we were told so the property could do with a mega clean up and replacement of some of the equipment mentioned. Double bed in room to the right side of entrance hallway is not comfortable - consider replacing mattress. Floors need deep cleaning as well as skating boards and walls. Too dusty in areas. One of the large sofaâs upholstery worse for ware needs mending. Bedside lamp is temperamental not switching on at times but flickering.
