“Great for retired couples, a nightmare for young folk with less than perfectly behaved children.”
Very hard to look after all of their delicate possessions when with young children, and a spanking new carpet in the dining area, this in preference to vinyl, what more can I say?

“The nightmare of taking young children to Philoctetes.”
Full of delicate decoration yet advertises itself in terms of children being welcome. They have even had laid a lovely deep pile carpet to the dining area, a total nightmare should your child raid th… More

Response from the owner We pride ourselves in making our holiday home child friendly and have had lots of families including our own use plus dogs use our bungalow with none of these problems at all. It isn't full of delicate decoration at all and the carpet isn't deep pile ? Obviously there is an element of parental responsibility too - our beloved holiday home was left trashed by this family, carpet ruined (which we are going to have to replace) piles of dirty washing up, dvds all over the place and scratched, TV remotes damaged etc etc.

Response from the owner We pride ourselves in our holiday which is well cared for and maintained after all we spend about 6 weeks a year holidaying there ourselves and we want our customers to enjoy it as much as we do. However when this customer rang to complain and we couldn't manage to get our cleaner out to access the situation (due to personnel circumstances) we did transfer £50.00 as a goodwill gesture to them which they seemed pleased with (no mention of us doing this for them on here). We also had previously advised via email and on our advert that the site was closed due to covid (it is in no way derelict) also that free wifi is only normally available in the club house which was closed. We were at our holiday home 2 weeks before this and there were no problems at all, then we were back there the week after this customer and found the bathroom walls/ceiling and other windows had been left soaking wet, we had to repaint the ceiling and replace the shower curtain too - hence the claim to retain the deposit left by them (but this wasn't covered under the T&Cs). We have customers that return year after year and always get positive feedback. So you can see this review does seem to be a little out line to others.
