I’ll start with the positives: the actual house has potential. It’s a nice house with quality doors and is well laid out. 3 bedrooms upstairs, one with an en suite. Oh and there’s space right outside to park.
Negatives:
The entire house was FILTHY. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. There were dead flies on the window ledges and carpet. There were food remnants on the wall next to the bin. The sofa looked like it was falling apart but upstairs was even worse. One of the beds hadn’t been changed since the last guests checked out and there were hairs, you know what type of hairs, on the sheets and to quote my friend, it smelled of bloke! We found a face mask and other debris in the cupboard. We were given one towel (which was damp) between 4 of us and there was one toilet roll and one almost finished hand soap between all 3 toilets. The rubbish bins were overflowing outside too.
Also, we wasted an hour having to drive to a guesthouse a few miles away with no parking to pick up the keys as the owner didn’t respond to my two earlier calls requesting entry instructions. We spoke with the landlady after we checked in and she offered us a refund without batting an eyelid. I’m sure we weren’t the first or the last to refuse to stay there. The house was so filthy we decided we couldn’t stay so booked a few rooms in the Travelodge instead. One week and two messages on and I still haven’t received a refund. In a word, avoid!
