Very dusty in lounge and especially in rhs bedroom the one with a dehumidifier which also smelt very damp. The tv remote in this bedroom was filthy as was the top of the bed headboard we just shut this room off. The other bedroom was better but not as clean as we would expect. The boiler made some weird noises every time the burners fired up query safety ? Other than that the location is fantastic and property is well equipped and hopefully when we return it will have been deep cleaned

We would book again. The only negative point is the roaring and revving heating, well to hear in the bedroom east
