2/10 Poor
26 July 2024
Avoid like the plague
It’s difficult to summarise how badly this place works. Arrival and details were fine, tea was provided but, inexplicably, no coffee and this was indicative of a series of baffling decisions by the owners. There was no welcome manual so we were without hot water for a day until the agents suggested something we could try (which worked). The kitchen is appallingly thought out, the hob has no extractor fan and half of the pans provided are not suitable for an induction hob, the oven needs a clean as it sets off the smoke alarm every time the door is opened. There is a washer and a dryer and a dishwasher but, inexplicably, no freezer meaning food we bought in advance went to waste. Elsewhere side tables are not wipe clean and some look like school GCSE projects where others are repurposed (a Fortnum and Mason hamper may look classy but wineglasses don’t sit comfortably on it. Draws are loose, the bathroom door sticks badly, the double bed is too small, a selection of the owners niche cd collection sits in the children’s bedroom taking up space and adding no value, electrical items are daisy chained on extension leads all over the place. I could go on. It’s the kind of place where you tolerate the flaws because your friends leant it to you and it’s free. This wasn’t. To cap it all on our penultimate day an interior designer and builder, commissioned by the owners, arrived to look round and quote. We weren’t told about this and it absolutely confirmed our decision to leave early.
