Mould in shower, damp bedroom and living room walls. Widow nets and blinds are dirty and full of cobwebs and need replacing. Very damp wardrobe/alcove to damp to hang clothes in due to the smell. Kitchen cupboards extremely filthy no space to put any provisions bought with you, cups with tea stains in them. Lacking basic necessities like oven gloves, shower drying mat. It states in the particulars use of its own garden, however on arrival it states you can't use it due to lack of maintenance. The property needs to be updated on basic requirements to qualify for a four tick property, I would struggle to rate it for a two. You can hear every noise from the property above even down to the mobile phone ringing. It's the most disappointing place I have ever stayed in.
