While the property was in a convenient location and had the potential to be a comfortable stay, our experience was impacted by a number of issues that should be addressed.On arrival, there were cleanliness concerns, including dirty cutlery and crockery left in the dishwasher and a dirty bowl with dried pasta sauce found in a cupboard. Some basic essentials were missing or not maintained, such as an empty hand soap dispenser in the downstairs bathroom, no bath mat provided, and no pegs or clothes horse for drying towels or clothes.The layout could also be improved for guest comfort — mirrors were only available in the bathrooms, and there was no storage or hanging space for clothes in the upstairs guest bedroom or the downstairs bedroom. The downstairs TV had no instructions and was not straightforward to use.One of the more disruptive aspects of our stay was ongoing construction work directly next door, which we were not advised of prior to booking or payment. This would have been important information to disclose in advance. Additionally, the downstairs shower leaks into the hallway, which we’ve documented with photos, and this is something that should be fixed as it affects safety and usability.Overall, while the property has potential, better communication, attention to cleanliness, and addressing maintenance and amenity issues would significantly improve the guest experience.
