Contractor House - TVs in All Rooms - Parking

The location was very good and easy

The coldness

Great location, stunning views, reasonable price, nice and helpful staff.

Beds comfortable. Shower lovely. Plenty of room

Lots of steps/stairs

Excellent customer services, very helpful and quick to respond. Nice quiet location.

The place was very clean and tidy. All the rooms were very spacious. I came here for the weekend to take the kids to the beach and the location was ideal for the price we paid on a bank holiday weekend. Plenty of on street parking available. The host was great helped with our check in and was always available to contact.

The shower downstairs smelt a bit damp and as we saw outside there was a puddle of water, so this needs attention I think right away. I think the stairs could do we a thicker carpet as coming up and down the amount of stairs there are makes an impact on your feet.

Spacious lounge and kitchen. Prompt attention to the issues.

Bedrooms - expected a twin room and a double room, but the double room had a single bed in it; rooms smelt of smoke; mattresses were very soft. Upstairs toilet: bolt broken. Lounge: no remote control for the TV. Kitchen: most of pots are scratched and the kettle and extractor fan were not working. Bathroom: flies everywhere, smelt of sewage, showerhead broken, water leaked from shower door and shower cubicle after use and wet paint on walls. Outside - lots of rubbish including cigarette ends, plastic packaging full of flies and chicken bones.

It was clean.

Doesn’t state it is a townhouse, would not have chosen it if we knew as I have respiratory issues and the stairs were steep. Facilities were lacking, only 2 teaspoons and 2 forks, microwave didn’t work, TV remote batteries were dead on arrival, bedroom lamp didn’t work which turned out to be a loose bulb, no towel rail in bathroom, empty soap or washing up liquid containers. Very few sockets so extension leads everywhere and the plugs hanging in mid air didn’t look safe. Dining room table only had 3 chairs. Heating control hanging off wall, broken plasterwork where pictures once hung, smelly waste water overflow onto patio seating area which had household rubbish on top of its surrounding wall. Everywhere we have been previously stayed has a welcome pack, a map of where local amenities are, some recommendations and leaflets for places to see. This apartment had none of those. If I was staying for business that wouldn’t be a problem but for a holiday stay it matched the other poor aspects of this property. Written description as 2 singles in bedroom 2 and a double bed in bedroom 1, although pictures show the actual arrangement of 1 single in bedroom 2 and a double and single in bedroom 1. For a family of 4 it would involve moving the wardrobe as well as the single bed from bedroom 1 to rearrange. Details say boasting a private entrance, which for a self-contained apartment is not unusual, but the private entrance itself was nothing to boast about. Check-in system required the provision of photo-id and online signature before code would be released at 1 minute past checking time. Never seen this before and I would cancel any booking like this in the future.

This accommodation is situated in a great location, near shopping centres and close enough to the city centre. It was equipped with everything we needed. Rooms were spacious and clean. There's also plenty of parking on the street next to the house. We had an issue with broadband, but it was quickly fixed by a member of staff. Overall it was a very nice place to stay. 🙂

We only found two forks (not enough for a family of four). But everything else was fine. 👌
