Needs a good clean
It’s such a shame. This property needs a thorough, professional clean. The first thing we did was find a supermarket and buy air fresheners for the lounge - the smell of dogs was awful. The best facility was the kitchen, but the rest of the rooms need a long overdue update. We won’t be returning.
