    “First impression on driving onto the estate was uninviting.”

    The property overlooked, at the front, rows of owners garages in various states of poor repair and Awalek faced an old Ford Transit that looked as if it was destined for the breakers, The property did not display a number so it was difficult to locate.

    The property overlooked, at the front, rows of owners garages in various states of poor repair and Awalek faced an old Ford Transit that looked as if it was destined for the breakers, The property did not display a number so it was difficult to locate. Plants had overgrown the path to the front door so getting in on a rainy day, of which we had a few, meant wet legs.Inside, at least 2 of the double glasing panels were blown one being the large panel on the patio doors to the rear garden. The grey throws on both setees really needed replacing. Every door had a fire door closer the one on the bathroom was badly adjusted, being really difficult to move and could easily trap a child. Inside the property was clean and warm although tired and badly maintained. The double bed was comfortable however the wardrobes smelt badly of must and unusable for fear of clothes smelling musty. We lived out of our suitcases all week. It really pains me to leave such a bad revue but we have not had a holday experience like this since the 70s and it certainly did not come up to the standard one should expect today.
