"Well tended Garden' was an 'allotment' that looked as though it had been totally abandoned months before! All overgrown, blocking 'view'. One plant bed, by seating area was all weeds..Veg plot with cabbages were full 'blown'. .Loads of apples all on the ground, and black plastic pots rolling round, and greenhouse by back door-with dead plants and baby tomatoes on the floor!. The area around the door mat was disgusting.!! Obviously had not been swept for months it appeared!. Asked owner to attend to that!. Dirt all walking in!! The so called VIEW was of massive greenhouse sheeting - looked like a river. View being taken over by overgrowth. Cleanliness was not good. Surfaces not clean. Inside of Cutlery drawer dirty, and fridge shelves not clean. Asked owner to come and inspect.!! .Teapot spout chipped, and not clean. Spent over two hours cleaning & washing main eating cutlery and drawer, and some cups/plates/cereal bowls for hygiene safety ..for two of us...and worktops! Coronavrius Alert! Another tea pot was disgustingly brown inside and a mouldy dried tea bag in it! Horrendous. .Not cleaned for months. Reported to owner.A bulb in both light fittings in the kitchen were not working., so quite dark. Called owner again.. Waited 24 hours for replacement bulbs. Stairs dangerous, as no stair rail at top so coming down in the night to use the Bathroom ( which was downstairs) was dangerous. NO NOTE OF BATHROOM BEING DOWNSTAIRS IN DESCRIPTION.. .and top steps creaked badly..as did bedroom doors, .waking spouse up. .stairs need painting. .and garden desperate for some love and care! Beautiful apples left to fall everywhere. Mr Cuthbert had just cut the lawn, and had cleared up some of the fallen fruit as we arrived.The approach down a narrow lane, was past a Derelict farm building that was a shock.. and another old farm building, immediately before the cottage. Not a good first impression! . ....However, the local area was nice. Lovely church, and river walks. Owner old us 'her cleaner had let her down' but I do not believe she had a cleaner at that time, as the owner's email stated she was away and would not be back until that lunchtime..to 'check everything was ok'... I think she had to get back to clean....so Not allowed into the property until 4pm. It was some 7 pm before I sat down for some food after all the cleaning, and requesting owner to come to inspect..This- ON MY BIRTHDAY.!! No real apology. And not even a 'Happy Birthday' wish.!!.
