Location

Had an issue with a broken fridge but the owner rectified as soon as possible. Could have had more towels and toilet rolls available for a four night stay.

Location and price

Fridge stopped working, bedroom light bulb didn't work, no bin bags or loo roll.

Although the property is in a great location, handy for the town, river dee, etc , the interior is in need of a major refurbishment. Straight away, we had trouble with the shower and bath. The shower head slipped down during use, and the bath plug didn't fit properly, causing the water to drain away. The bathroom is in need of a coat of paint at least, and the woodwork looked to have water stains on it. There were black marks down the front door that looked like mould. Even the outside of the property it looking 'tired'. Upon our arrival theres peeling paint every where, and cigarette butts all over the place. As previously stated by another visitor there's a few steps up and down in the property these should be pointed out better, maybe put hazard tape across them. I happened to drip my coffee on the table, so I dropped the table leaf so I could wipe it . It was thick with dust, so I have no idea when that was last cleaned properly. I had trouble lighting the cooker, as I use an air fryer etc, I wasn't sure how to turn the oven on. I text the owner and I'm still waiting for a reply nearly a week later. I wanted to sweep through as I try to leave places as I find them, all that was available was a broom! Not even a dustpan to pick the dirt up. And certainly not a hoover. I ended up having to leave little piles of dirt in the kitchen and front room. In the passage to the bedroom there's a small step down and a big step down, there's no hazard tape to warn you or even a light, I ended up leaving the front room light on at night. As you go into the bathroom, there's some skirting that looks as though it's starting to rot, it's splitting and could cause a nasty accident if someone caught their foot on it. Not happy with all this, any decent owner would offer a partial refund. I paid over £400 for THIS

Great location. The shower pressure was great. Good response from vendor when a question was asked. Great pre arrival detail.

On arrival, the cottage smelt damp, and the front corridor carpet was soaking wet. The cottage is in need of a deep clean. The cottage is in need of a lot of repairs throughout. Only one toilet roll provided for 4 people for 3 nights. The towels were small. The bedding would benefit from an upgrade as I felt like I was sleeping in a students room. The double bed was incredibly soft (this may be to some people's liking, though). I would suggest this is not a 4 adult accommodation unless you're out all day (or like being cosey) - I'd suggest 2 adults and 2 children. There are a few little steps in the cottage, but the vendor has put in motion activating lights for safety. Smoke alarms activated with the toaster. There are not enough plugs in the kitchen yo make tea and toast at the same time.

Everything else was great and it is quite near to Aldi. The riverside park and playground is just across the cottage, which was what the kids liked the most.

The bathroom exhaust fan is not working.

Excellent location. Very comfortable property

Couldn't connect android phone to Internet which was a little inconvenient.
