Well used surfaces in kitchen and bathroom were clean but the drawers, the kitchen bin etc filthy. There is mould on the walls in the bathroom and both bedrooms. Mirror in main bedroom was very dusty as are the corners and skirting boards. No bathroom cleaning products and only one cream cleaner in the kitchen and this was nearly empty. The small outdoor seating area was grim.

- Upstairs bathroom could do with a deep clean. - It would be nice if kitchen was stocked with more basics like oil, foil.

The outside of the property could do with a tidy to remove dead plants and clean the window sills and frames. First impressions do count. The properties facilities were great. Top notch appliances; the washing machine and tumble was great for washing through after beach visits. The rainfall shower always had hot water and the beds were very comfortable. The property is situated close to a busy road so road noise could be heard late evening and early morning when in bed. We stayed when it was warm and had windows open. The sofa in the lounge needs attention, it was very saggy and uncomfortable to sit on and smelt musty. We were very disappointed with the cleanliness of this property. It was very dusty (more than the previous cleans worth) and cobwebs everywhere. The dishcloth was dirty on arrival and some towels were damp. The bathroom towel rail was very dusty and full of water marks. The cutlery drawer was full of crumbs and food. The floor felt sticky in places and white socks soon became very dirty. We did contact the agent (who are very difficult to get hold of as all contact is done online and you have to wait for responses to messages) and they did offer to reclean but we were halfway through our holiday and had cleaned it ourselves by this time. This could be a fantastic holiday let if it is cleaned as it should be.
