The place was filthy if you send me an email address i will send you photo evidence. The radiator fell off the wall so we was freezing as we had no heat. We couldnt use the shower as the temp regulater was faulty so had to strip wash at the sink. Such a shame as the property itself is lovely.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’m very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced — this is absolutely not the standard I aim to provide.
I take concerns about cleanliness and safety extremely seriously. I’d really appreciate seeing the photos so I can fully investigate what went wrong and make sure it’s addressed immediately.
The problems with the radiator and shower are especially concerning, and I’m truly sorry this affected your comfort. I will be arranging urgent repairs and reviewing our checks to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Thank you again for letting me know, and I appreciate you acknowledging the potential of the property despite the frustrations. I hope I can resolve this properly for you.
