I was happy that I was allowed to check in 1 hour early. Unfortunately that is where the positives end, the villa express feels like a very tired hotel. Broken fixtures and fittings, dead flies in the light fittings and no soap in either of the 2 dispensers in the en-suite. cleanliness was an issue especially in the bathroom, I will not be returning

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The property rated highly for cleanliness. However I found the property to be quite run down, not as clean as I’d have expected and overall poor in presentation- threadbare is how I’d describe it. An example is that the TV remote to a very small TV did not work and was sticky. I went to get new AA batteries from reception but they had only oneAAA battery. They didn’t offer to obtain any more. It was not what I expected from the reviews and how it was presented.

Stayed there a few times over the years . Good location for an over night stop etc. Clean and tidy over all. Friendly staff. It went down a bit a few years ago but seems to have been spruced up recently. Change of ownership? (The tv in the room had seen better days with occasional unresponsive controls. Wi-fi did not load up.)

On arrival I checked in and was shown my room. The bed was almost on the floor. The room was freezing cold and I spoke to reception and she came to the room and attempted to warm up. She was lovely. I went to the attached restaurant which is a steak house- they had NO steak. On returning to the room it was still freezing and there was no towels. I had to be moved. On the second room the heating worked. I was asleep and was woken by the sound of small feet scuffling around on what sounded like a hard surface. After the initial shock, I decided to check for droppings to confirm my suspicions there was mice, there was none seen but the sound went through the night. I therefore had no sleep!
