Unsure whether cleaning is an option somehow (it was automatically added to the booking when I used wotif). I’d recommend the owners not make self cleaning an option, or to check in/reassess the cleaner used. Whilst the property is superficially cleaned, it really needs a thorough clean between guests and “stuff” should be packed away neatly or put into storage (contents in the laundry, rooms, etc). For the nightly price paid, you could stay in a nice motel/hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Apartamentos HG Lomo Blanco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tias-Hotels-Apartamentos-HG-Lomo-Blanco.h1694083.Hotel-Information) > > [Resorts Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Italy-Hotel-Resorts.d86-aaHotelResorts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [IntercityHotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-IntercityHotel-Berlin-Hauptbahnhof.h6028760.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Leonardo-Inn-Glasgow-West-End.h4021.Hotel-Information) > > [Regia Mare Beach Hotel & Spa Bodrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-Hotels-Regia-Mare-Beach-Hotel-Bodrum.h18699427.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Borneo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borneo-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d3000652286-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Saphir Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Saphir-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h1860706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Costa Rei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Rei-Hotels.d6048550.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Ayrlington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels-The-Ayrlington.h4322704.Hotel-Information) > > [Knights Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-Knights-Court-Hotel.h2286304.Hotel-Information) > > [My Story Hotel Rossio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-My-Story-Hotel-Rossio.h1507264.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Bole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bole-Addis-Ababa-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n553248633981729799-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Playa Larga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Larga-Hotels.d6348738.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hemsedal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hemsedal-Hotels.d180520.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Portimão](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels.d9470.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lindos Princess Beach Hotel All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Lindos-Princess-Beach-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h3720763.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Sea Beach Affiliated by Melia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Blue-Sea-Beach-Hotel.h3239809.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Belgrade (BEG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/beg/glasgow-to-belgrade) > > [Flights from Ingenio (LPA) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpa/gla/las-palmas-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to Bristol (BRS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bcn/brs/barcelona-to-bristol) ### Cars > [Car hire in Pontypridd](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Pontypridd.d182879.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Blanchardstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Blanchardstown.d179049.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Van Car Hire in Southend-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Southend-On-Sea.d179500-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Packages > [Rascals Party and Play Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rascals-Party-And-Play-Centre-Preston.d553248621532493150.Attraction) > > [Motorpoint Arena Nottingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motorpoint-Arena-Nottingham-Nottingham-City-Centre.d6087713.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Castledawson](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castledawson.dx6161069) > > [Visit Nauru](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nauru.dx126) > > [Visit Redcliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Redcliffe.dx6337278)
