Disliked: Cleanliness
Very disappointing
Pool not private as advertised, house overlooked by another property so not remote as advertised, no address provided even on request and just vague verbal directions leaving us struggling to find the house after a long tiring journey; not even a sign at the top of the dirt track indicating the house was there; and didnt feel welcomed by owners representative, beds unmade, left to find bedding, towels ourselves; had not been advised to bring first meal so arrived wthout food and shops were shut but not even a loaf of bread or anything provided by the owners to help on first evening, totally inadequate kitchen with 2 just 2 pans, all utensils and most crockery old and needed cleaning before use, electricity cut out twice, no drinking water and 1 hour round trip to get bottled water, bad smell throughout house due to animals skins and pelts throughout, bars on all windows represented serious fire hazard, no washing machine offered despite presence of machine in neighbouring property to which we had a key, discovered a rat near bin in kitchen last day but scuttled behind old wooden cupboard and couldnt catch it, swimming pool dirty because stagnant, double bed in one room not sprung and was just a board, another bed was a futon, furniture was in disrepair and shabby throughout but particularly in kitchen and adjoining room, the chairs were unstable and a couple were broken; electric wiring was ancient and very surprised if it complies with minimum safety standards, one bathroom had no proper bath and we had to wash whilst squatting as it was a seat bath, no details were provided of essential local contacts such as a doctor, and certainly not comfortable as advertised as there was no sofa or soft chairs. We waited all year for a holiday and I end up having to apologise to my family for booking such an unpleasant property. This property needs money spending on it before it is fit to rent and the owner has invested nothing.
