We are a family of 4 that booked for a week. The location is excellent and only about 10-15min walk to Emsworth town where there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. It was appreciated that there was washing up liquid, bin bags and a dishcloth provided in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and bed linen clean. Unfortunately, that's where the cleanliness stopped.
The shower curtain in the bathroom had a lot (and I mean a LOT) of black mould along the bottom of it. The glasses in the kitchen didn't appear to have been washed properly and were stained with water marks. Some of the crockery had dried food stains, some of the cutlery was dirty with small bits of dried food. The kitchen cupboards were sticky and you could see finger prints across the doors. The inside of the dishwasher needed a good clean. Most of the draws needed a clean out as there were bits and dust in them. Generally, the whole place needed a really good clean. Unfortunately, the dishwasher door fell off and the dishwasher ended up not working. I quite understand that it was difficult to have this fixed given that it was Easter weekend but I'm sure this problem could have been foreseen as a dishwasher door doesn't just fall off! The table & chairs on the balcony hadn't been cleaned and the floor hadn't been swept or cleaned.
I would certainly stay in Avocet Quay again but not at number 4.
