Crumbs on kitchen work tops .There is a horrible smell in the hallway by front door we think this was because bins not emptied it was full .windows were filthy the house just needs a good clean otherwise it was lovely

    Thankyou for your feedback, we are pleased you loved the house. We are sorry you found some cleanliness issues. On the day of your check out the Property Maintenance Team discovered that the freezer in the locked garage had completely defrosted along with all the contents, which was what was causing the smell in the hall. This has since been cleared away. We are always available during guests stay to investigate any issues you may have. Property Owner
