Villa / house to rent : B727 - Grand cottage

Mark from Jane 3/5

The garden at the property and the pool area were stunning.The tennis court was ok but the net was in poor repair and needed fixing.It was also great to have a pool table..
The house was short of several essential items.Firstly the oven was a counter top one which was obviously not big enough for the number of guests the house sleeps,.The top of this became dangerously hot when cooking and when you tried to open the oven door the whole thing threatened to fall off the counter top.
There were several dirty items in the kitchen. When I reported this I was told that my comments were noted and steps would be taken although I feel it was rather dismissed..
When we arrived there were no toilet rolls,soap,fairy liquid,scourers or anything at all.While we don't expect to have these provided for the whole stay it was rather inconvenient when we arrived after the shops had shut.These basic items have been left for us at villas we have stayed in before.
A couple more casserole dishes would also be good.
I hadn't registered that there was only one wc to be shared and this was downstairs.I am sure this was clear in the blurb so that was my fault but it was rather inconvenient and again other villas we have stayed in have had a few more toilets and bathroom facilities.Perhaps the upstairs wc could be converted for general use and the strange bathroom arrangement in the main bedroom could be converted into a proper ensuite and shower.
It would also have been helpful to have a more upto date folder with useful points about the property and surrounding area.What there was seemed very out of date.
Overall we had a great time as we went out and about a lot but I am not sure the property was value for money compared to other houses we have stayed at
