17 Howard Road. Southampton

The property was lovely and clean. Perfect for our stay

Not a lot really, dirty no proper hot water, kitchen shocking state.

Boiler not giving out hot water but like warm, dirty in a lot of places especially the bathroom and kitchen the side were sticky.

Good comfortable accommodation for our overnight stay. Spacious 3 bedrooms with comfy beds. Clean. Short drive to the port for our cruise holiday.

The kitchen decor was a little tired but didn’t really bother us for our overnight stay. The little table top cooker was sufficient to replace the broken oven & again this didn’t bother us for an overnight stay.

It has three bedrooms.

Ground floor was clean , but all bedrooms were dirty , no body bother to change bedsheets , duvet sheets and pillow covers, they were extremely dirty , that we were not able to sleep on it , mattresses were very old , their springs you cold feel on your hands , one of the rooms windows were actually very old , and we could not close , i have paid for the night with my family , and kids wanted to home and does not wanted to stay , i don’t know why booking. Com has given … to that property , unbelievable!

Drive to park the car and the beds were comfortable

Tired looking indoors and outdoors

Nothing.

Owner didn’t provide code to property and was unreachable so we were stranded upon arrival after a 3 hour drive in the heat. When we finally got in the property there was no tissue, no toilet paper and the house was barely cleaned with sticky surfaces in the kitchen and dirt in the other rooms so we had to go back out immediately to do a full shop. We needed up leaving early because the place was so disappointing.

The house is spacious and in a nice area.

I'm reluctant to leave my review because having re-read others more carefully, I notice that every negative review has been "refuted" and the person leaving it verbally attacked. I think it's only honest & right for me to warn people though. DON'T STAY HERE!!! The owner in a response to someone's complaint has said it is waiting to be demolished, and honestly, it has that feel about it. We arrived to find what looked like the gate broken into, I went through & found a large overgrown rubbish strewn garden. There was part of the house (which has been blocked off inside) with rubbish and weeds and an open door to a derelict area of the house. It was like something out of a scary movie honestly. I wish we'd left then. The house, although spacious, is sparse and has a very empty feel. Everything was dirty and sticky. The oven was broken and there was nothing to tell us about that - I found out by re-reading reviews which mentioned it! Paint peeling. Cobwebs. Chipped sides. Broken dirty kettle. Only 3 bowls & 1 teaspoon. Exposed wiring in the bedroom. Nails randombly sticking out of the wall. The shower (and water generally) runs boiling hot then freezing so I couldn't put any of the kids in the shower. The windows have a pealing adhesive sticker on them so you can't see the rubbish outside. Even the front of the house looks abandoned. Literally, I can't write every negative thing I found down. I just can't stress enough that it was just a terrible experience from start to finish. I honestly can't understand the positive reviews in here at all (it feels like there's definitely something underhand going on!) and would definitely discourage anyone from staying here.
