Guest Reviews

• Titaha (8/5): beautiful view, lovely stay, feels homely and can host a decent amount for a family dinner - Very comfortable, homely also has a beautiful view and the ensuite was a plus there weren’t any cooking utensils, so do remember to bring those next time
• Ruby Marie (10/5): - Very well equipped, very comfortable beds! Amazing space with everything we needed for our stay.
• Solange (10/5): Lovely place in a tranquil and pleasant area - It is a lovely place in a tranquil and pleasant area with a stunning view Nothing we didn't like
• Maura (9/5): Superb -
• Frank (6/5): Lacks Maintenance and Cleaning. - - the house is in a good area, small shops, dairies, beaches and lakes are close - the view of the beach from the house was very nice - the kitchen bench was wide and spacious - french doors are a good idea due to the beach and sunset/sunrise view, however were a bit hard to open up, hinges could have used a bit of oiling - the curtains were modern and generally clean and shaded well - the showers were clean and the water system was not a problem - the mirrors were clean and big, good - the items provided underneath the kitchen sink and the kids bedroom’s closet were handy, useful, such as the cleaning items: sprays, liquids, vacuum cleaner, indoor clothes line etc - there was enough hand wash, soap, body wash, hand sanitizer, good - the clothing hangers in the bedroom closets were plenty, good - the kitchen table was a good size and was stable, although the kitchen chairs were a bit unstable and wobbly - the speaker in the living room in front of the TV was useful/handy - the dry foods provided in the kitchen drawers were thoughtful, but a good clean of the drawers is required - the floor carpet seemed/appeared newish and was nice and soft - the walls were nicely painted - the main bedroom looked out/faced the parking area which was beneficial (for security reasons) - overall the house is a good size, is in a good area/location and is suitable for a holiday home for a family up to eight individuals/persons - lack of outdoor chairs (only two) which were also rusted - a sun umbrella would be beneficial - the bins in the bathrooms were very neglected (one you couldn’t open properly and the other one had a no bottom at all) - the bed frames were very weak, creaky, and the mattresses were uncomfortable and worn out. The bed slats were firewood material. - the bedside table lamps did not work properly and the bulbs were popping and burst - the main fridge door had no handle as it was broken off - the sofas in the living room were small and uncomfortable, which did not change if we opened them up - the deck could have used a paint and polishing, as the paint was worn off - more dish washing liquid would have been beneficial as it was minimal - the bedside table drawers were dirty, crummy and not cleaned out - there were spider webs and a few plastic wraps underneath the beds - the windows did not open easily and they were also dirty - some of the bug or mosquito nets installed on the windows were broken/ripped - the ceiling lights in the kitchen, living room and main bathroom were not working properly or at all, flickering for example - one toilet button did not work at all in the main bathroom - the fire alarms throughout the house were installed in the wrong areas and some did not work at all, or worked very badly and should have been replaced a long time ago, years ago. Beeped during the night time. - the clothes line in the back garden was covered in cobwebs and an old sock was left there which was a bit unusual - a hose would have been helpful/useful, not just outdoor taps - there were lots of cutlery and plates but the deep bowls were very limited and not enough - more toilet paper placed underneath the bathroom sinks would have been helpful/useful - overall general, simple maintenance is required through the house
