We realised that the current owners only took over in May this year, but the room could have done with a really good deep clean and even though they didn’t make the bedding it would have been nice for clean cups for tea/coffee

In need of TLC

Basic room as expected but very poor lighting, dirty windows, lack of attention to detail (light bulbs filthy and some not working, no evidence of dusting skirtings), general grubbiness, particularly in the bathroom which is long overdue a refit - washbasin cracked, grout dirty, blackmould around shower screen, broken bath panel.
