“The garden is a mess.”
More weeds than grass. I appreciate it’s been dry up there but that’s no excuse.
The back of the house is filthy with cobwebs and there are substantial overhangs from the trees behind the house. Could be a problem with kids.l mentioned all this last year and the year before. Yes this was our third consecutive stay. There won’t be anymore.
The soap dispenser in the en-suite doesn’t work, as the bottles have fitted such it is only possible extract a minuscule amount each push.
The major fault was the gate. The catch is bent, so it flicks, which in turn make difficult to pull the bolt back. You have to lift the other gate to pull back the bolt anyway. The two “bolts” the are meant to secure the gates to ground, don’t. There are no metal rings in the ground to secure them. When windy the “secured” gates blew open; even the top bolt came out. The house is meant to be pet friendly, which l would suggest should also mean safe for pets. To have a gate that can blow open, when there could be a dog in the garden, next to a busy road, is a disgrace. We bound a bicycle chain lock to make the gate secure. Do the owners ever inspect the property, or is that your responsibility? I would have thought that the cleaners would have mentioned it.
Thankfully, we managed to have a great holiday, the weather was kind and house interior is fine.
