    “The interior of the property is in need of a lick of paint throughout and the property could really use some improvements, including:- Furniture updates:- * Replace the broken and tatty wicker chairs * Update the kitchen tablecloth, which is outdated * Fix or replace the broken couch (the arm is falling off) * Replace the old and worn living room curtains and consider fitting bay window curtains.”

    They would not only look nicer but also allow guests to still use the window seat when the curtains are closed in the evening * The wicker paper basket has been there for years—I'm sure I recognise it from when I stayed at Sandpiper around 20 years ago! Safety and convenience:- * Consider fitting a handrail on the stair wall. This would help guests who are less steady on their feet navigate the uneven stairs [top and bottom] more safely * Replace the lamp in the twin bedroom with a smaller ...

    They would not only look nicer but also allow guests to still use the window seat when the curtains are closed in the evening * The wicker paper basket has been there for years—I'm sure I recognise it from when I stayed at Sandpiper around 20 years ago! Safety and convenience:- * Consider fitting a handrail on the stair wall. This would help guests who are less steady on their feet navigate the uneven stairs [top and bottom] more safely * Replace the lamp in the twin bedroom with a smaller one, as it doesn’t fit properly on the chest of drawers, especially if putting personal items there during holiday Plumbing issues:- * Both showers are inadequate—they only trickle and don’t provide a proper shower experience * The toilet in the twin room has an extremely loud flush which can wake people up at night Bed height:- * Although the beds are comfortable, they are much too high for people under 5'6". As someone who is 5'2", I had to buy a step from Argos just to get into bed. It may sound funny, but it’s true! If it weren’t for the location, I seriously doubt this property would be nearly as popular in its current condition, or that it could command the prices it charges
