"A disappointing stay."
The house didn’t seem to have been cleaned thoroughly. The heating had broken down so we had a very cold weekend away. The upstairs radiators came on for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. The boost didn’t work. The two downstairs radiators in the main living areas did not work at all. I cannot fault the lady who came to try to help (the caretaker). She was amazing and made every effort to get things working! The owner did refund us £75 out of the £515 we had paid. After we had paid for all of the wood we needed to use for the weekend for the fire it was little compensation.

"We had a good week, quiet location, handy for the coast and weather better than forecast."
A spare toilet roll would have been appreciated, as would a teapot. Suggestion, a couple of jcloths would have been useful. My friends would have liked to find a mirror in each of the front bedrooms and also commented on the number of cobwebs. It is that time of year however!

"Great house in a wonderful location within 2 minutes walking-distance from facilities."
But property needs a deep clean. Also instructions on the use of various gadgets would have saved time.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry you didn't have the perfect stay. I have the house professionally cleaned prior to every stay, and I'll pass on your feedback Property Owner
