The interior is clean and well maintained. Could do with a little TLC on the outside- door step ang along the walls.Host was kind enough to leave some milk and tea. I am likely to book again of returning to the same area. ##### Grace N. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Martin P. 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### My first and last Vrbo stay. Single bed was broken. The door handle was missing to the single bedroom just the metal bar left in. Our 5 year old woke in the night and tried to get out, becoming stuck in the room and got very distressed. Luckily I had some tools in my car to get the door open. He had to share a bed with us the second night. So none of us slept well, both nights.Floors all uneven, upstairs and downstairs. Cupboards leaning over that don't feel safe to touch. In fact none of the bedroom furniture was flush to the floor. Everything wobbled. Bedrooms all upstairs, bathroom is downstairs, through the dining room, then through the kitchen with has no blinds or anything for privacy whilst walking about in your underwear. Bathroom window is frosted but still needs a blind, you're on full view pretty much.Tv remote didn't work properly.Back yard was full of cigarette butts, crisp packets and other rubbish.Holes in the wall behind door in single bedroom. Bits of toilet roll on the floor. Coiled up TV coaxial cable left on the floors in both double bedrooms, definite trip hazards.Kitchen taps wrong way round so we assumed there was no hot water in there for a day. I wouldn't recommend or return. ##### Martin P.
