Overall the house was lovely& great location. However, the following needs looked at: 1. Kitchen cupboards need cleaned.2. We had to clean dishes before we used them!3. Kitchen gear not being checked, only 3 desert spoons for house that sleeps 4. No ovengloves, no tea towels, only one dish washer tablet given, no washing machine powder. Its like nobody had walked through whats required for each action. Sink needs a basin, as you have too go to loo to get rid of slops if sink has water in it.4. Sheets should be checked even if looks clean. Bottom sheet on king size bed had old blood marks on it!5. Not sure when owners are back but someone needs to get rid of the 2 oak trees growing in the patio, especial the one at the drain pipe against the wall! The other one is much bigger and in the flower bed beside the keybox. Both will cause damage if not dealt with soon.

Lovely property badly equipped. No coffee making equipment, no teapot, no milk/water jug, no sugar bowl, no breadbiin, no egg cups, little cutlery, no casserole dishes., few serving dishes. Advertised as having a barbecue and welcome pack. There were neither.Nice outside terrace which is full of weeds and needs a good tidy up. (The house was immaculate.) The garden table was filthy and underneath it was a large, disintegrating cardboard box containing who knows what.I write this more in sorrow than anger because it’s a lovely property in a great position but it’s being badly let down but a lack of equipment and nobody to contact about it.
