Fantastic views
The location of this property is lovely, and in general well fitted out. Lots of crockery pans etc. Could do with a long handled dustpan and brush though as we couldn’t sweep up.
Great that pool towels are provided as it saves luggage space.
It is a shame that there is not an information pack on the local area with recommendations for restaurants, places to visit etc.
I did have to contact the manager about the cleanliness of the house though. There was a fair bit of mould in the second en suite shower, and some long black hairs. The floor wasn’t very clean nor was the basin. The house was also very dusty in places especially under the bed in the second bedroom and the lounger cushions were covered in dust which we had to clean.
James sent someone out straight away and she said the cleaners would return, which they did, but the standard of cleaning still wasn’t brilliant and the long black hairs still remained!
Some of the windows were very dirty (second bedroom again). Isabel who came out said that the cleaners don’t have access to the garden to be able to clean them.
The property is in need of work. The small courtyard has scruffy furniture and dead plants in pots. The shower in the second bedroom has a leak onto the floor and a lot of mould on the tiles, the shower tray is quite unstable. It must also be (or has been) leaking into the wall of the bedroom as the panelling and skirting boards are rotting. The hems on the curtains are coming down.
Would be a great property if the owner did some of the repairs needed, paid a bit more attention to detail, and the cleanliness was up to scratch.
