Spacious Nice and clean Good location

Location

Host wouldn’t answer phone the night we arrived (in the cold). We needed the keypad code to gain access to the property. Eventually an email was sent, but we’d already contacted Booking.com for the code. Door handle panel on the front door is loose. Dirty oven. Cleaning cloths (with tea towels), still soaking in the washing machine. Lint in dryer vents. Couch cushion with contents spilling out of broken zipper. Arm rests with indents in them. Silver birch seeds in kitchen and bathroom. Used Band-Aid in bottom of bathroom bin. Holes in bases of pantry bin and toilet bin. No bin liners in toilet or bathroom bins. Cotton bud/Qtip on floor of pantry. Outside courtyard untidy and unswept. Outside toilet (facing kitchen window) left with seat up and door open. Bathroom window needs a blind for privacy. It had a decal on it but there are areas that can still be looked through. The hedge outside it isn’t tall enough to block the window. I have photos if needed.

Great location, clean, good wifi, full set of kitchenwares, feels like home.

It would be good to have an extra toilet inside the house for a big family.

Everything we needed was provied. Nice to stay the house for holidays.

Location is awesome

Parking. I think they should have resident permit parking for those staying

Location was convenient to eateries.

The bottom bedrooms were very cold. There is a heat pump directly opposite the staircase’s. It didn’t matter what we did , the heat would just got up the stairs. When we arrived, after requesting a cot, it was nowhere to be seen. We had to go hunting and found it in the laundry. No base to the cot, only a dusty quilt found on top of a locker that had light bulbs sitting on it. They almost fell off and caused injury. Once contacted host to ask for base and sheet. Was told we had to supply our own. We had to go purchase bedding. Owner did call in with bedding the morning after our first night to offer bedding, but was too late. We needed it the night we arrived after travelling all day and had already requested cot weeks ago. The day after our first night, owner cancelled the request for the cot. Also told owner of terrible stench coming from toilet. Owner came, we couldn’t work out what it was. The following morning it was so bad it woke those staying down stairs. It was definitely a dead rodent in the ceiling or outside. Wet washing left in machine from cleaners - we had traveled from Qld and wanted to do a load of washing. Linen left in dryer as well. The state of the machines were disgusting. Washing machine was full of mould. We were definitely not washing anything in that. Made us wonder if the (1) only tea towel supplied was washed in that unsanitary machine. Also the oven was absolutely filthy. Had not been cleaned in months. Was not at all going to cook in that. Kettle was very unsafe. Lid opener broken. Kettle would not turn off it self, and when you lifted it off to pour, lid would pop open and burn your hand.
