    “This property should not be let again until it has been thoroughly cleaned and properly maintained.”

    On arrival it was clear the property is in need of attention. The front metal gate is unable to open properly partly due to the hedge next to it being very over grown. The forecourt has gravel and weeds in it and can in no way be described as a garden (as in the details of this flat). The front door is dirty and needs painting. We found the bedding and towels to be freshly laundered. The right-hand Venetian blind in the living room is broken. The portable heater does not work (the temperature ...

    On arrival it was clear the property is in need of attention. The front metal gate is unable to open properly partly due to the hedge next to it being very over grown. The forecourt has gravel and weeds in it and can in no way be described as a garden (as in the details of this flat). The front door is dirty and needs painting. We found the bedding and towels to be freshly laundered. The right-hand Venetian blind in the living room is broken. The portable heater does not work (the temperature during our stay went down to -4). The property was superficially clean, but not in the detail. Dirty cups were in the kitchen cupboard and a pair of scissors were covered in thick debris. Old crumbs in the toaster. The pull cord in the toilet next to the kitchen was dirty and discoloured. The radiator was very rusty. This was due to urine splash, but would not have got in this state if it had been cleaned after each occupancy. There were other rusty corners harbouring dirt. A very rusty soap/towel holder bracket was fixed to the wall without its tool. Just a dirt trap. Light switches and door handles throughout were dirty. A kitchen wall was spattered with what looked like coffee stains, but could have been anything. The heating thermostat in the lounge was missing. The thermostat on the hall radiator was broken and unusable. Bedside lights in the main bedroom flashed on and off continually. They could not be used and would be a hazard to anyone with epilepsy. Standard lamps in the lounge and main bedroom had only one bulb on each working. The top bulb fitting was broken on the bedroom one. Deep cracks on the ceiling and wall of the lounge suggest that the building should be surveyed for subsidence. In any event, these cracks need to be fixed before the property is let again. A booking condition was that we check out by 10:00am as is usual. The demand that we should do so by 09:00am was unacceptable. The further demand that we should bag up bed linen, etc. has nothing to do with safety. Your cleaner/housekeeper should wear gloves when doing this job, just as they should when cleaning. This is normal work at the end of a let. Attempting to place responsibility on the guest is unacceptable and could result in claims of items being missing. Photographs were taken shortly after we arrived confirming all of these comments. They were sent to the letting agents who did not respond.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. I am sorry to read of the problems you encountered during your stay. I have had a look at your file and cannot see any communications about these errors found. If we had been informed we would have attended on the day of arrival to provide an urgent re-clean. I have had a look at your booking emails and can see that check-out time is listed as 10 am with no request for laundry to be bagged up. We will ask our housekeeping team to ensure there are no notes left from covid times with these old requests on them. However, we always advise guests to contact us on the numbers provided if there is any confusion. We find that the pictures online are reflective of the outdoor space provided. Thank you for bringing these points to our attention, and we will request our maintenance team to attend the property and assess. Lakelovers Owner Team Property Owner
