Mrs Barnard
We were extremely disappointed with this property and honestly cannot recommend it in its current state. We had problems with the electrics when cooking using the hob. There was no evidence of regular electric safety checks and all the smoke alarms were out of date during our stay. There is an air fryer a microwave and a small fridge. There is a dishwasher but no washing machine. There is no internet and only O2 had a signal. The only television which is a portable has a white line running through the picture. The living area is very small especially for four and using the kitchen table when extended out meant you couldn’t get from the kitchen to the living area without moving it/ putting it down. There was mould, dust and cobwebs in places and it smelt musty and of damp. Overall we felt that it needed a deep clean, redecorating and refurbishing before it should be let.
