House number 8 sleeps up to 4 People with Smart TVs in Every Room

The location is good & the house could be very nice for families is a little attention & money was spent. I feel it was really more aimed at contactors than families. Reasonably clean, but see the points below.

My concerns There was no Carbon monoxide alarm (I always take my own, but good practice & the law in long term rentals is to have one. Holiday let law is very lacking imo) The boiler was in a locked cupboard in the main bedroom this feels particularly dangerous There were not fire extinguishers as advertised It was advertised as a non smoking property, but there were very obviously heavy smokers using the property, butts in the BBQ was particularly vile. The house wasn't smelly but the cleaning staff should have removed the butts from the garden , I find it hard to believe that amount was for a single guest. But regardless I should not have to see them, or keep the kids away from them The washing machine drawer had mould The garden cushion cupboard was dirty Many of the electrics were on extension cables which is poor practice There was no stair gate (advertised as family let) more minor but something families should note as the stairs are steep The upstairs windows had no safety feature so we dare not have them open as kids could easily fall out (it was a mega hot summer weeks when we were there) The toaster knob made operation difficult There was no extractor in the kitchen which made cooking awkward The single beds need new mattresses, if you look at previous reviews this has been noted multiple times for several years.. The springs could be felt when lying on the mattresses. I've looked at other poor reviews, after my visit as I was surprised it was so highly rated, lesson learnt look at all the reviews before booking. Please look at other reviews and the owner's comments to get a fuller picture.. I have photos of much of the above which I'll upload if I can. Owner tends to say on other reviews why didn't you say this at the time. Reason, I was there on holiday not to have to deal with all the above.

It was nicely situated for where we were planning to visit on our trip

The property needs a little TLC, things that are needed to be used such as the toaster and kettle probably could do with replacing, the mattresses’ springs were felt easily and they were noisy The previous residents had smoked inside the house and there was still a slight smell of smoke in the main bedroom. We were unable to tidy our rubbish into the correct bins due to them being full (rubbish in the recycling and flies in the bin)

I like the location and that the area was quiet

Could do with a ramp to get into the drive

The bed. My son said “dad I don’t feel like getting out of bed, it is so comfortable “. I had a good rest on my end too.

N/A

Very spacious: 2 floors + garden area. Whole house in a very quiet neighborhood. Children's playground just around the corner.

Kitchen has no extractor hood and there weren't any kitchen towels. Single beds creak and mattresses could use a replacements.

Location, TVs in rooms, easy to check in and out, owner emailed to check all was ok. We had two very good nights sleep.

The cleaning could be better. There were alot of cobwebs and spiders all around under the sofa / sofa bed was alot of dirt and dust. Single glazed windows, I can imagine will be very cold in the winter.

The house was clean and tidy. There were added bits in the kitchen to help wash up, etc. The location was only 10 minutes from where we were going. There is plenty of storage space. There were towels laid out on each bed as well as spares in the barthroom. There is a massive bird hourse in the bottom of the back garden, so being greeted with different kinds of birds each morning was great

The mattresses were not great. We could feel the springs a lot. Especially one in the twin room, it felt more like i was sleeping on the bed base than a mattress. This made our nights sleep not that comfortable. It was also very cold in the house.
