Not for self catering
This is a lovely little bungalow ideal for 2 people . However if you intend to self cater forget it. The kitchen is poorly equipped, whilst it has a microwave and cooker it does not have other items you need. There are no baking sheets, no cooking spatula, no serving spoons, no bread knife, no decent bread board, no microwave dishes, and only 3 mugs (with a dishwasher I would have expected more), though in actual fact the dishwasher did not work.
A gas bbq is provided but no bbq tools or any way to clean the bbq after use.
Baring in mind that we were also in the middle of a pandemic the general level of cleanliness was of concern.
Health and safety was also an issue with the unlabelled kitchen sick taps installed the wrong was round so that the cold and hot taps on the wrong side which on first use lead to minor scalding. Following on from this we could not find a first aid box ! The bathroom taps were correct.
Generally there was a lack of instructions around the house even to the extent of not providing instructions on how to dispose of rubbish and no information on recycling!.
The lounge and bedroom both have french doors which look nice but leaves little option for ventilation. The owner considers the property to be 5 star but such awards are normally based on equipment levels that this property simply does not meet. An excellent broadband connection is provided but if you plan on bringing a firestick to watch Amazon Prime or Netflix forget it the flat screen TV is so old it does not have a USB port and the DVD player is connected by SCART.
Based on our experience I simply cannot understand why anyone would rate this property higher than a 3 , it is a good base to use for the area but just that and nothing more. This is an honest and factual review of which the owner had been warned but has not responded to any of the points I have made.
