On our second day a plumber had to visit because the previous tenants had blocked the en suite. It might have been ok if we were out but we had a baby that needed napping. The plumber was very considerate but it was a long job and all the windows needed to be opened because of the smell. At first the homeowner was pleasant and agreed to arranging sRead moreome compensation but when we got home we had a mail from her accusing us of leaving the place in a state and that extra cleaning was required. She even accused us of breaking a toilet brush, of all things. We had cleaned for over two hours and although we hadnt broken the brush if we had it would have been covered under our non refundable breakages deposit. She cited crumbs on the floor and fingerprints as requiring additional cleaning time. Does she employ her cleaner for one minute? Even 15 mins would have sorted everything. Have a no children policy if this a problem She was just trying to avoid any compensation. We are a respectful family who have been renting holiday homes in Swanage for more than three decades and never had any problems. All left a very nasty taste, so although we liked the location and DVD collection and board games, we would never stay there again. I was also not happy that she contacted me direct rather than through the letting agency. It all felt a little unhinged, so am now concerned she might harass me for the negative review. The en suite toilet basically had a sign saying only use for a wee. Truly bizarre. With a four year old you never know quite what is coming, so we didnt use that bathroom even though we were banking on having more than one bathroom.I have registered a complaint with holidaycottqges.co.uk. If you are child free and OCD on cleaning I would recommend but not otherwise. Hide
