Liked: Cleanliness
good for large groups but not value for money
We (a group of 10) stayed 3 nights.
When we booked the accomodation back last year there was only 1 review of 5 stars on Stayz so our expectations were high, especially for the price.
Prior to our trip, subsequent reviews (on other sites) were posted which lowered our expectations somewhat.
Overall, we agreed with the most recent reviewers that the house is very clean and Kerry the caretaker communicated well.
The size of the house is large and spacious.
The negatives are quite extensive including
* No Freezer in the kitchen, there is a freezer in one of the bedrooms that can be used.
* 1 of the 2 dishwashers is not working.
* The grounds are unkept and look nothing like the photos on website. What was once a fountain is now green mould. The roses were beautiful, however, the ground around the rose garden untidy and overgrown.
* The furniture is outdated and there is not enough furniture in the TV/media room to accomodate the number of guests that we were charged for.
* Outdoor furniture is worn and uncomfortable
* General maintenance required - sliding doors do not open and close easily. Some of the decking has screws showing, could be dangerous.
* Spa is out of order. Not sure you would want to use this anyway as the area around the spa is tired and dated.
* It is good to see the dead fish (from another review) had been removed, however, the tank is dirty and fish were caught in the filter area that we couldnt fix.
This place good be spectacular but its not.
