    “We were disappointed with our stay at Mrs Puddleducks, The house looked clean on arrival, but the banisters and light switches were grubby.”

    The floor looked clean, but our socks were absolutely awful (an odd sandy brown colour), which we assumed was possibly down to dog urine.

We chose to leave early and went to stay at a Hotel for the remainder of our holiday. The house has a lot of potential, but is not worthy of the price we paid! £1,090.00 left us feeling ripped off.

    The floor looked clean, but our socks were absolutely awful (an odd sandy brown colour), which we assumed was possibly down to dog urine. We guess dogs had urinated around the hot tub as it smelt strongly and when it rained the smell was even more intense. We chose to leave early and went to stay at a Hotel for the remainder of our holiday. The house has a lot of potential, but is not worthy of the price we paid! £1,090.00 left us feeling ripped off. The fit and finish is poor, the dishwasher was not secure in its slot. The rear shower tiling was scruffy and the excess grout had not been wiped off. The upstairs toilets clonked and banged all night long, disturbing our sleep. The middle floor shower, didn’t work well and turned itself off during use. It was clear to see the house is purely a money maker, which needs love and attention.
