Unable to see if on or off. Windows we're left open? Bed was noi made up and told that in she'd behind caravan? Pillows soiled so went to supermarket and brought new. Tv did i turn on and was told broken. New one arrived next day. Carpets stained and upholstery on sofa smelling and rubbi in them. Dirty socks either side of radiator in Lounge area plus in wardrobes with dirty linen in double room. Fridge had milk in salad drawer and dirty on door inside. Towels soaki wet and left on airer in spare room. Room looked awful in there more like junk room. Hole in net curtain on patio door. Shower had black damp all arou at bottom and slip mat soiled. Overall t most unhygienic accommodation we have ever stayed in. We cannot expres our disappointment when it was supposed to be a holiday.

Just one thing we noticed was the shower tray overflowed if you stayed in the shower to long it's probably an easy fix more than likely just blocked but there wasn't a plunger so I couldn't try and unblock it myself apart from that everything else was 100%

The cleaning had not been done.the owner when contacted was very helpful and contacted the cleaners responsible for cleaning,on arrival they were aggressive,unhelpful,rude and threatening,and denied not doing their job,even though there were dirty cups with spoons on worksurface,suger spilt on work surface,crumbs,etc..bed linen had stains and residue on them,towels were stained,rotting food in fridge,and mouldy bread in bread bin.the cleaners ignored this and denied all knowledge of this and became more agressive
