Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rose R. Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Not impressed, you need to higher better cleaners The accommodation was not too bad but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The floor was dirty, the fridge had to be wiped out before putting our food in, it had stuff spilt in it. The highchair was dirty from the previous people, I guess it hadn’t been wiped down. There were no dishwashing tablets provided. There was only one cloth in the kitchen and that was grotty. Everything I pulled out of the cupboard felt greasy. I washed all the plates by hand as I felt they weren’t clean. The tea towels smelt and felt greasy. I had to soak them so I had to use the flannels to dry the dishes after hand washing them. Light globe in the bedroom was not working, light globe outside to light up barbecue area was also out, there were not spare light globes provided even though it said in the guest guide there should be. The dust under the bed was about an inch thick. Was not impressed by this property. ##### Rose R.
