The Old Fire Station

Clean tidy very spacious

Comfortable and well equipped

Neither up stairs bedrooms had functional blinds or curtains and one bedroom had nothing. Mentioned this to the agent Pillow Partners who promised it would be sorted next day but nothing was done during our stay. Seemed to be a lack of communication between Pillow Partners, the cleaners and the owners. Was told in the end bespoke replacement blinds needed to be made.

The location in regard to the town centre was excellent. Lots of places to visit within 25 miles of the property.

There were no toilet brushes at the property, no mirror in the bathroom, no bins in the bedrooms and the smoke alarm in the small bedroom was in the drawer of the bedside cabinet with the wires hanging from the ceiling. The grill pan hadn't been cleaned and the freezer was iced up. There were weeds growing back and front of the house and the rear of the property was very cluttered with leaves and other rubbish..

Easy to find and the location was perfect in town center. Parking was a breeze and easy to drive in and out of the housing area. Close walk to pubs and other stores. Comfortable beds and couch in a beautifully arranged house. The large Samsung smart TV in the living room/kitchen area was perfect size to watch streamed movies. Communication with the housing agency was quick via emails and Booking.com messages.

Not really huge issues that I brought up with the housing agency where both front and back doors stick when trying to open and close. Possible due to changing weather? I managed getting in and out of house after playing a bit with the doors. They stay secured when locked. Also it’s getting colder at night now so I figured out the radiator heating settings in the upstairs closet.

No mirror in upstairs bathroom.... We have stayed here three times now. Have always advised in reviews this bathroom needed a mirror !

Location was grotty but close to the lovely town of Kelso
