Not bad but needs updating
The good: running hot water, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Clean sheets and towels. Swimming pool just up the lane and warm. Area beautiful, with beaches, swimming lake, towns and cities. Isabelle, the host, is friendly and her dog is lovely. The bad: 3 days before arriving told there was no internet. The area 4G signal is poor so struggle for hotspots. No sign of any modem or wi-fi router. Was there ever internet in the house? One of the bedrooms on the ground floor. All beds are single and pushed together with single duvets. Shower is reached through a low (4ft) entrance in the ground floor bedroom. I cracked my head twice ducking in and out. Cupboards under the kitchen sink full of mould so no space for storage. Bosch oven but no trays/tins/racks so sat unloved for two weeks. Would have been nice to grill some fish or burgers, but wasn’t possible. The BBQ grill rack was filthy and caked in fat from previous use. Bought a new grill rack, but hornet’s nest just by the front door so no eating outside. Wasp’s nest above the window of the bedroom. Couldn’t open windows all holiday. Middle bedroom cupboard was a blanket covering a shaft that smelled of damp. Bathroom has open socket next to the sink. Light above the mirror has exposed cables curling out of the fitting. Swimming pool shared with guests at three other houses so can be crowded. A good holiday but paying £2,000+ I expect a bit better from accommodation. Looks lovely and rustic in pictures, but needs work.
