“Although your property is lovely and full of character it does require some attention - some things seem to be a tad dated and broken - simple things like blind cords that should really be fixed before someone stays.”
The house is in need of a lick of paint here and there - the pictures are more appealing than the property itself in my opinion.
I think we feel like this because on reflection we paid well over the odds for 4 days compared to other properties in the area and in Anglesey overall. All other properties we have stayed in over this season have left a little welcome pack which is a nice touch - for the price we paid this would have been nice. Maybe you have now dropped the price as we booked early in the year - but we feel we were ripped off now we have been and gone.
Brookfield has been extremely popular this year, we have been fully booked from February 1st until October 28th. Normally Brookfield is painted inside and out every January. Last January we had a new flat roof put on the lounge, which has caused a problem by the front door the white paint persists on peeling it has been retouched every month but still peels off. Our lady who cleans did report the chain on the wall had worked loose and we did have it repaired after you left.
As for costings, we never take short breaks only full weeks. Firstly because our cleaner can only go in on a Friday to do the change over and secondly you pay the same for 4 nights as you do for a full week. That’s why we only do full weeks!
In November we are going to block off a full week, we have a Painter/decorator going in to paint interior, we were hoping to wait until January but agree the house has had a lot of foot fall in the last 10 months and needs a refresh.
As for welcome pack if I lived closer I would leave Milk and Welsh cakes, but I live 150 miles away sorry it’s not posable. I am extremely lucky with Julie who does an amazing change over and leaves Brookfield spotless week after week, I would not impose on her to go and shop for welcome packs. Property Owner
