What guests are saying
The kitchen in particular was grubby, the floor was dirty, the peddle bin had rusted apart, the fridge was dirty, the draining rack was dirty.
The showers were small, the drain in the upstairs shower smelled. The garden was untidy. We were there nearly 2 weeks but there was no offer to come clean/change the bedding whilst we were there. There was no dryer, just a very small washing line. Also, there was no proper oven, just some small counter top thing & an imitation aga that took 30 minutes to heat up. I could go on, but ultimately this was one of the most expensive places I’ve rented (including from you) and by some distance the most disappointing.
Skelder was a lovely house set in a beautiful , peaceful location .
An enclosed garden with lots of games to play. Very safe for children and the dog . The bikes were a useful option too . The pool was a real bonus and we had a lot of fun it.
We had a fantastic time at Skelder.
The property, location and facilities were fantastic. I also messaged the owner during our stay and they were very helpful. We would absolutely recommend and also likely to return. Many thanks, Dan.
