    “This was a lovely property overall, very spacious and a great location!”

    On arrival we opened the door to a very strong smell of wet dogs. We then had to remove the two mats from the downstairs lounge area and store them in a cupboard as they were covered in large white dog hairs, almost as though the mats had not been hoovered and cleaned between reservations. A lot of the same white dog hair could be found around the floors, under the sofa and weaved into the cushions on the sofa. We then decided to remove the cushions and store them in the cupboard also.

    On arrival we opened the door to a very strong smell of wet dogs. We then had to remove the two mats from the downstairs lounge area and store them in a cupboard as they were covered in large white dog hairs, almost as though the mats had not been hoovered and cleaned between reservations. A lot of the same white dog hair could be found around the floors, under the sofa and weaved into the cushions on the sofa. We then decided to remove the cushions and store them in the cupboard also. We have a 16 month old toddler who crawls about the floor and plays at that level so the level of cleanliness was not ideal! We completely understand that the property caters for dogs which is not an issue, the issue solely lies with the cleanliness. We expected the property to be cleaned thoroughly between stays to remove the strong smell of wet dog and hairs everywhere. Other than this, the stay was pleasurable. The hot tub is a great addition and the two parking spaces were handy for our two vehicles! The beds were super comfy and very clean! We would defo recommend this stay and also return ourselves as we are sure the cleanliness between dog stays will be addressed. Thank you for having us!
