Firstly, I have to say that my wife and I are not overly fussy people; but we do expect value for money. We enjoy the Dorset/Hampshire area and have been holidaying there many times over the years and until we stayed at Covena Road we have never been disappointed in the chosen holiday accommodation. The house furnishings, particularly in the lounge and dining area are very old. In addition, the old carpet on the stairs was "smelly - ? urine" at the top. There are no small tables in the lounge to set down a drink etc. Parking is very difficult on the street and almost impossible outside the house. The garden furniture was unclean and covered in spiders and insects. The ancient bench at the bottom of the garden was broken - probably with age. The dining-room is very outdated and not conducive to enjoying a meal. The bedrooms are OK. The kitchen is not bad; only 4 teaspoons for up to 7 people. Thankfully the weather was very kind as there is no tumble dryer. There is a plastic string immediately outside the french doors which can hold perhaps 6 garments. My wife and I stayed alone in the house apart from 2 nights when we had another 1 adult and 1 child stay. The doors at the rear of the house were almost impossible to lock. This property is over-priced by a large margin. The property lacks facilities expected of a holiday property and therefore deemed unfit for purpose in our opinion, A significant, early deposit was required; more than 50% paid 5 months in advance.
