    “We found some maintenance and cleaning issues with Tickeydoo that certainly shouldn't have been there and especially so reflecting the expensive charge of £1337 for a weeks hire.”

    Beautiful area overlooking the old quarry lake but guests should be aware that there is a fox hound kennels nearby and dogs barking, especially in the early morning should be expected. The jacuzzi on the patio area is the best feature of the place and even better if the outside area was cleaned cassionslly and the leaves and debris swept up. It would make a huge difference to see it tidy and the plant pots actually supporting some live plants! Inside, the rugs appeared dirty and needed dry ...

    Beautiful area overlooking the old quarry lake but guests should be aware that there is a fox hound kennels nearby and dogs barking, especially in the early morning should be expected. The jacuzzi on the patio area is the best feature of the place and even better if the outside area was cleaned cassionslly and the leaves and debris swept up. It would make a huge difference to see it tidy and the plant pots actually supporting some live plants! Inside, the rugs appeared dirty and needed dry cleaning or washing. The extractor filter in the bathroom was so thick with dust and grime that I was able to write "clean me" with my finger. Minor things like replacing the wall clock that wasn't working and providing sharp scissors and a decent size non slip shower mat would make all the difference. The metal oven trays need to be replaced and the oven door handle needs to be fixed. Again, a little thing like cleaning the windows would make a huge difference. We certainly didn't think the high rental charge reflected what we found.

    - David, July 2026

    Thank you David for you review, I know you spoke with my husband about the oven handle and said that it wasn’t an issue during your stay; I can assure you that it wasn’t fixed when you left. I clean all the filters on the extractor fans but with the dust from the drive they do get dirty during your stay, let me assure you they were cleaned before your arrival and the dust; due to the extreme dry weather can not be helped, and thank goodness in the filter only and not Tickeydoo. I will ensure that the sharp scissors are replaced they must have disappeared with previous guests so apologies on that front! The flooring of the shower is non slip, I do provide a small shower mat but could look at a large one, thanks for this feedback, Kirsty Property Owner
