Extensive 4 bed close to Peterborough

Location handy for Whittlesey. Friendly and responsive host. A whole house was very suited to our needs.

Sadly the house was not as clean as we would have hoped and was quite tired inside. There were a few niggles eg we could not get any heat from the hob, but the host was responsive to messages. There is not as much parking as the photo suggests- most of what is shown is a shared drive which cannot be blocked. Parking was really quite tight for two cars.

Spacious four bedroom two bathrooms with parking, good well equipped kitchen.

Smelt and was freezing cold when we got there as had not been checked on prior to arrival. All cups and plates and oven tray needed to be washed prior to use. As staying over Christmas had expected Christmas decorations to be up, which they weren’t, had to request the key box code as wasn’t sent until requested. We had to sort the heating thankfully we were out that evening so just went out earlier while the house warmed up and smell of drains dispersed thanks to us running water so the traps filled up

The property was great, clean and well kept and included nice little touches like tea coffee etc, really like home from home, and the host was great in communication and really accomodating

Nice that there were two bathrooms. Spacious

Not clean bedsheets. Every bed had pubic hairs in, one bed had over 15 in. Absolutely disgusting! The house looked clean but close up it was dirty. A lot of sticky surfaces. Cobwebs on every light and most corners. When we arrived the dishwasher was full of dirty pots. There were no British tv channels, like BBC or ITV. The photos show ample parking but you can’t park on the driveway at the side of the house as it would block next door’s access. There are signs up saying don’t park here. Meaning there is only enough parking for two cars. The sofas are clearly very old and are uncomfortable. Upon entering the house it was evident there was an overwhelming smell. We had to move a lot of the air fresheners and unplug the plug in ones as we ended up with headaches due to the overpowering smell. Some windows in the bedrooms wouldn’t open at all.

Everything

Nothing

Air conditioning in some of the rooms was very welcome in August. Stocked with tea, milk and sugar. Lesley the owner was very helpful when we left some behind. Good shower :-)

Getting on and off the drive took some getting used to. Decor was a bit tired in places. The road is quite noisy in the front bedrooms.
