Main problem was the strong stench of damp. the property was wet, the beds damp, when we opened the kitchen cupboard to use the pan it was covedred in mould disgusting! in fact all the pans etc where in same state. The property is desperatley in need of some TLC, soft furnishings etc. Taking this into account I do not feel it was good value for price charged. In fact as i have chest problems I now have a chest infection and on antibotics, probably caused the damp. It is a shame because it could have been a holiday trasure with a bit of care. ##### Cherril P.
