Very mixed feelings about this property
Owner was excellent with communication and our arrival arrangements, which were made tricky by Tour de France road closures and she allowed us to leave our car at the property early.
Property is on road (which I was aware of) where most people drive way too fast, which is a shame, but did not impact us greatly.
Amazing views from balcony.
Property is VERY tired and in dire need of some love and attention, which is a shame as it could be so lovely. I understand that major refurbishment would be very expensive, but simple things could make a real difference, like mending broken keys in doors (two) and the knackered front door lock, fixing the plug sockets that are loose in the wall, the wall lamps that are wonky and loose. The decking is all wonky so a trip hazard, the gate doesn't lock without a fight, the loose bannister on the very steep spiral stairs, the broken glass in the bathroom skylight - not massive repairs but simple things that make the property seem uncared for.
The garden could be made so much prettier with some flowerbeds, the knackered shed having a lick of paint etc.
Everything just felt shabby and neglected which is sad as the property is lovely and we really liked it. There are ugly doilies hanging in all the windows that are all creased and one had a hole in it - not a deal breaker but either take them down or at least iron them!!!!
Nice property which we really liked but could be so much nicer with some care and attention.
