“The location and view are amazing but, a big but, is the house is very tired and needs a deep clean.”
From first impressions as you arrive at the front of the house with the collapsing table, the thread bare door mats and the smell of damp that hits you as you walk in you feel like you have paid too much for the house. As you go through the house you realise it is very tired and needs to be updated. The kitchen was not clean with food splatters on the wall behind the sink, tea and coffee stains on the cupboard doors. The carpets have seen better days and the main stair case is not safe for small children. Also things like the size of the towel rail in the on suite for the master bedroom are baffling, you can only fit flannels on it when there is room for a full size one, there is very little hanging space in the whole property with only coat hooks provided in some rooms, the apps on the tv have not been logged on etc… All in all the location is great but the house needs bringing up to date, perhaps you should look at the Little Fish properties down by the White Eagle or the property you pass through to get to this one, they are the standard that you should be aiming for. We see the prices have gone up for next summer without a serious refresh or rebuild it is not worth it for the view alone.
Thank you for the invaluable feedback. We are of course very disappointed to read your review as the property is usually very highly rated. Unfortunately, towards the end of the summer season, things do tend to get very well used!
We have replaced the indoor mats, and the carpet unfortunately was the victim of a leak and is being replaced in October (and we have a decorator booked). The collapsing table is a hand-made African tripod table, to hold the
visitors book and guest information in the hallway ready for your arrival. The cleaning standard is usually exceptionally high (as can been seen from other reviews) and we are pleased that subsequent guests have had a great holiday. We can only apologise that you weren't 100% satisfied with your stay rest assured, have taken your feedback on board. Many thanks. Property Owner
