Reading 3 Bedroom Close to all Amenities w/Parking

Good size house.

Difficult open the door. Toilet door broken. Broken blind.

Location, beds comfortable.

Lounge: • Holes in the walls where there were previously fixings • Only one of the two ceiling lights worked • Although the accommodation advertised it was for six, there was only enough lounge seating for 3 – anymore would have to use the dining table seating. • The carpet was badly marked • Holes in the curtains Security • Unable to lock the door from the inside – the thumb turn didn’t catch (had to pile dining room chairs up at the door as a security measure) • Safety chain missing from the fixing • Back gate couldn’t be bolted Equipment • Lacked kitchen equipment – only 4 cups, 3 juice glasses, very little else in the kitchen cupboards • No iron or ironing board • No hoover – only a dustpan and brush in the kitchen • 2 bins in the kitchen but no instructions as to what was to go in each Décor • Poor décor throughout – emulsion paint partly painted over gloss door frames WC • Radiator not attached to the wall correctly – we had to put it back on the bracket • Rusty radiator • Cold water tap not attached therefore only able to use hot water (scald risk) • Cracked window sill Hallway • Laminate floor gaps – trip hazard • No floor strips between laminate in the hall and lounge carpet – trip hazard Bathroom • Dirty grouting and bath enamel chipped • Poor cleanliness • Only 2 of the 4 lights working • Extract grill filthy – as were all of them, especially the kitchen (every room had them) Garden overgrown with weeds

Spacious rooms. Easy to access property. Good parking spaces.

Where do I start? Almost everything else. It was shoddy and certainly not looked after. Poor decor and spartan at best. The were holes in various walls. It was grubby and not particularly clean. Tap broken in toilet. Heating thermostat was broken and compl,etely unusable. Bedroom blind broken. Lighting not working in hall and only partially working in lounge. Out of date loaf of bread left in 'welcome pack' (seriously?) and very old rancid tea bags too. No hairdryer nor ironing board. Maybe these weren't listed as available, I can't remember, but when you rent a house surely they should be basic items? What's really annoying is that we reported the failed lighting and broken heating thermostat. We were categorically told during the phone conversation thay someone would call that evening to fix. Nobody called. We were then messaged by text to say that someone would call the next day to fix the issues. Again, nobody called. We are really unhappy at spending almost €400 for two nights accommodation in this property. The owners need to be less laissez-faire about their clients needs and maintenance of the property. Cannot recommend this property as it stands. Very poor value for money. It would be nice if the owners made a gesture in some form of partial refund.
