The property was beautiful and very elegant however customer service was just awful.

We paid the £1500 deposit in full before arrival. Upon arrival the rubbish bins had not been emptied and were full. All rubbish from our stay was bagged up and placed next to the bins. The bags had been ripped open by animals after we had left the property which was out of our control. We got a charge for not putting rubbish in the bins. They charged over £300 for a deep clean of the hot tub which I would expect to be done before new guests arrived with accommodation for up to 16 people! For hygiene and infection prevention.During our stay some of the straps on the hottub cover had broken so a charge for that also which we said we would take full responsibility for as they were all in tact on arrival. And we were charged for a chair leg that had come loose (not broken or snapped) In total they took £1116 from our deposit. I emailed the company three times and sent two messages via WhatsApp with no reply absolutely Appaualing customer service. The house was left absolutely spotless as it looked when we arrived. So would love to know what we have been charged for as you can get replacement heavy duty hottub straps for £20. The whole experience has been very upsetting and stressful and would definitely not recommend booking or dealing with this accommodation..

Dear Lyndsey Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased that you found the property beautiful and elegant — our team works hard to maintain high standards throughout all of our homes. However, we must respectfully clarify several points regarding your comments. Before arrival, full written instructions were provided for waste disposal. Our housekeeping report and photographs taken after your departure confirm that these instructions were not followed. Although one bin was full, there was ample capacity in the others as advised. Unfortunately, rubbish left outside of bins led to contamination and additional handling charges. Regarding the hot tub, clear usage and hygiene guidelines were also sent prior to your stay and are displayed on-site. Our team found a significant amount of alcohol contamination in the water following your departure. For clarity, a full deep clean is not performed after every guest — it is only necessary when misuse occurs, just as with swimming pools that are maintained through chemical balancing between uses. The deep clean and replacement of the damaged hot tub cover were therefore required. The armchair base was also found broken during our standard post-stay inspection. All findings, including photographs and cost breakdowns, were shared with you directly. While we understand that deductions from a deposit can be disappointing, these were based solely on verified damage and cleaning requirements. Our team has responded to all correspondence and acted in full accordance with our terms and the Good Housekeeping Bond policy. We take great pride in offering elegant, well-equipped homes and kindly ask all guests to treat them with the same care they would their own. Kind regards,

I’m not usually someone who likes to write reviews, but for this one, I thought it was important to make everyone aware.

On the positive side, the house is clean, and the furniture and fittings are very good. Now, the other side: We were disappointed with several aspects of our stay at this property On the first day, we had to wait 40 minutes after the scheduled arrival time of 5 pm to get the keys; we received them only at 5:40 pm This place has cameras everywhere — 3 at the front, 3 on the sides/back, plus a hidden one in the garden which is aimed straight at the Jacuzzi (total of at least 10 CCTV). The listing says cameras are for “security only,” but it was clear they watched us throughout our stay. After the holiday, they even mentioned extra guests they claimed to have seen on camera. One of the insuite toilet was leaking on the arrival and wasn’t fixed during our entire 5-night stay although it was reported. The Jacuzzi was poorly maintained, smelled bad, and felt far from private with a camera pointed right at it. There is also a strict rule requiring a £1,000 additional deposit for extra guests. Despite my compliance and the fact that this deposit was taken in full, it has still not been refunded. Over 30 days have now passed since my stay ended, and despite my formal complaint and multiple follow-ups, no refund has been issued. This prolonged withholding of funds is unreasonable, lacks transparency, and further demonstrates unfair treatment Overall, not what we expected and definitely not a relaxing holiday.

We take guest feedback seriously, but your review contains several misleading and unfair statements that must be addressed. Check-in: Our standard check-in time is 5:00 pm. The key code was sent to you at 4:30 pm after your group arrived early at around 4:00 pm, before the house was fully prepared. This was explained at the time by our housekeeping team. It was also during this process that it became clear your group had far more people than booked ? a total of 26. This was a serious breach of your guest contract. Moving forward, housekeeping has been instructed to refuse entry in such cases, as exceeding guest numbers compromises health and safety compliance, security, and the comfort of our neighbours. CCTV: Security cameras are installed solely for the safety of guests, the property, and our neighbours, as clearly stated in the listing. They are not hidden. Footage is not monitored in real time and is only reviewed if a security or safety concern arises. Any claim that guests were 'watched throughout their stay' is false and defamatory. Maintenance: No bathroom leaks were reported before or after your stay. Had such an issue been raised, our team would have attended immediately, as leaks are treated as urgent. Your claim of a leaking toilet is therefore false and defamatory. Jacuzzi: The hot tub is professionally cleaned, serviced, and tested before every check-in. No faults were found in your water quality report before your stay. It became clear that your group did not follow the user guidelines provided, particularly the hygiene instructions, which caused the water to deteriorate and required deep cleaning at additional cost. To state that the Jacuzzi was poorly maintained is false and defamatory. Deposit: The Good Housekeeping Bond (GHB) is a standard requirement and is only withheld in the event of clear breaches. In your case, it was retained due to unregistered guests and misuse of the property. Despite this, when you threatened to leave negative feedback unless the bond was refunded, we returned it in full as a gesture of good faith. You then chose to post this review regardless. Going forward, our management team has confirmed that deposits will be strictly enforced in cases of damages or breaches, regardless of the prospect of negative feedback, in order to protect the property and ensure fairness to genuine guests. Your comments do not reflect the reality of your stay and overlook the booking terms you agreed to. While we welcome constructive feedback, we will not allow false claims to misrepresent our home or mislead future guests.
