Vidale Court, 3 Bedroom House with River Irwell view, sleeps 6

The location of this property to where I was working was great, it took me less than 10 minutes to drive there. The property had everything we needed for our stay. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of room, the kitchen was well equipped, I couldn't fault it at all.

Cash bond was expected up front on arrival. As travellers, we were not carrying cash.

Good location

Clean

The beds were so comfy! The place had a nice modern feel to it and it had three toilets which were good. It had a washing machine and a dish washer too. The walk along the river was nice and there was a Lidl just down the street. To say it was on an estate the place was nice and quiet. The TV had lots of apps but no TV channels unfortunately. We didn’t use all the facilities on offer so I’m not sure how it all worked as we mainly ate out.

The place looked tidy but needed a good clean. All the skirting needed a good wipe down and the floor felt sticky. The on suite shower was hot and we couldn’t adjust the temperature, but the pressure was very good. I’m not sure where the black grit came from when using the shower, I’m not sure if it came up when it struggled to drain quick enough? There was also outdoor seating that was so old and rickety you couldn’t use it and they were full of cobwebs, but there were two foldable seats in the kitchen to use.

We really enjoyed the location of the property.

Unfortunately the property felt like it hadn't been cleaned before we stayed and we were very disappointed with this, as have stayed at a house about 10 mins away from this property for alot less and was spotless. In addition to this the photos displayed in advert of the property were not accurate (different sofa). Feel we were charged too much for the property considering the state it was in and feel a partial refund should be given.

The ensuite

The amount of cctv

Collecting the keys was nice and easy. They were provided within a lockbox, at the front door of the property

Unfortunately, the property didn't feel that clean. There were stains across the carpet and on the sofas. Scuff marks as well as food and drawings on the walls (it definitely needs a good coat of paint). Everything in the kitchen felt sticky and there were smears all over the cupboard doors. There was also a constant beeping coming from the loft that would go off every 10 seconds. This was a big problem for the guest staying in that room. The area itself seemed nice enough however, there was banging and shouting coming from a nearby property one evening. You could also hear quite a bit of banging coming from next door.
