“As seasoned travelers and at that age to know better, it was somewhat a deflating moment in all honesty.”
The price was high and the amenities were somewhat lacking.
My first encounter with the owner was also disappointing as our holiday property boasted of a BBQ and a hot tub. Well the BBQ was just the basic brick built effort with a metal grill for which you could place a throw away BBQ set that you would have to purchase. Jokingly I said to the owner what about yours which was the top of the range gas BBQ, and the face said it all.
It didn't end there either. The double bed was soft and clearly seen better days, as for the pull out settee that was in the living room was a newish leather settee, that was fixed, and was rock hard, with very little give.
The shower room was a little run down and could have done with a spruce up, but it was adequate. My snag list would be. Attention to detail and it would start in the shower room which looked a little run down the ventilation was poor and the shower unit wasn't that user friend to operate.
In the kitchen and living area, it was super compact and had limited workspace to use in preparing food. Whilst we all understand that no place will ever tick every box, this place for us was below what we have experienced anywhere else, and that is saying something.
The patio was cramp, and the hot tub cover wasn't easy to operate without the need of a second person. A tip would be to offer a small child's fishing net to clear out all the dead flies as a hot tub seems to be a magnet for them.
Air Con would be a positive step in the right direction for these people to up their game, but other than that we were relieved to leave early, than our departure date.
I do wish them well, but retrospectively, they do need to remember that holiday makers still want the creature comforts of home too.

Hi, I’m sorry to read your disappointment in the feedback, plenty of photos on website showing exactly what you get! It sleeps 2 so is compact and there is no mention anywhere of a pull out sofa??
As for our bbq I bought it off a local selling page for £50 and clean it myself after use! As you can imagine if a gas bbq was in place to use this wouldn’t be cleaned by every guest that leaves!
We’ve witnessed many happy guests using disposable bbqs over 9 years. We do go away on holiday so do know what to compare with! Beds are so personal that we are always happy to return to our home
