Reviews

Had a lovely 5 nights at Avalon although there’s room for improvement. Pros; Off road parking, good size bungalow, location good, well equipped. Cons; Garden not suitable for our 2 year old to play in which is a shame as it was wasted space. Bungalow not cleaned well enough. Skirting boards/edges of carpet dusty. Had to move a bedside table for my sons monitor which clearly hadn’t been moved for a very long time. Crumbs in utensil drawer. Requested high chair upon booking - Took me half hour to find it (under a single bed) and was thick of dust which I don’t think is acceptable. Luckily there was a hoover in one of the cupboards so had to use that before wiping it clean to be able to use. Shower is very small and leaky/noisy/not very powerful. Husband is quite broad and struggled to fit in. This being said, would stay again dependant on price, but cleaning needs improvement.

Mrs W,

Helpful owners.

Mrs A C,

The property is comfortable and in a good location, but it is let down by the WiFi and Shower. With four people in the property, the WiFi was so slow. Router reboots did nothing to improve the situation. The shower needs fixing as well, with the controls leaking water down the wall rather than getting the water up to the shower head. The property just needs a bit of TLC in these areas.

Mr B,
