On the plus side the owners were pleasant enough

The kitchen was well equipped with an oven which is rare in rented accommodation

However on arrival the house was dark and cold

The bed and bedding were damp and these had to be aired out by the use of electric blankets.

Needed the electric blankets on every night

There was a heater in the first bedroom which was almost useless and just about kept the room aired when left on all the time

We used the towel rail from the bathroom to keep the second bedroom aired on a night

Without these too cold and damp to use

The whole house was cold and damp. Couldn't sit on the veranda as there was no sun onto it at this time of year

We were offered firewood to burn in the fireplace but would have had to pay 10 euros a bag

You should not have to rely on this form of heat in the winter. There should be heaters (heating)

to keep the place warm and dry

The sitting room was uncomfortable - more like a corridor. The furniture as well past it's usefulness. The springs on the settee were gone and you felt everyone when seated

The property was advertised with a washing machine. This however was not in the property itself and a charge of 5 euros for using theirs.There was very little sun into the house and only a little bit outside in the afternoon

The hot water in the shower kept going off halfway through

Loungers were provided but these were dirty and the cushions were grubby

Vegetation was overgrown which didn't help

The exposed electrical wiring was poor - taped with insulation tape

It may be different in the Summer months but the house is not - in our opinion - really good in the Winter as the house doesn't get the sun

You had to go out to get any sun
