Disliked: Cleanliness
We always love visiting Brooms Head, have been going there for over 20 years, it was a lovely holiday. Located across from the beach, lovely shady trees at the front also providing privacy for the front deck. The accommodation was good, however we provide some observations with good intentions as they are all superficial and easy to address: - upon arrival the home was not locked, front doors were open- it was not very well cleaned, counter tops were greasy, ceiling fans dusty- crockery was not washed well, coffee cups all had coffee/tea marks. - a lot of cockroaches that came out at night, we purchased cockroach baits to get rid of them- no dishcloths to wash up with, we purchased some along with other cleaning productsOur first day there we spent cleaning the cupboards, crockery and cutlery. The tops of the fridge and cupboards above the food-prep area was covered with dust grease and cockroach pooh. Once we cleaned this up everything was good and our stay was comfortable.The advertisement stating ‘dog friendly’ is misleading. The manual for home usage provided explains that dogs are not allowed inside and are required to stay outdoors. This was disappointing to learn, we would not have booked this accommodation if this was known upfront. Also, there are various locations where the dog can escape the yard or go underneath the home which we had to block off. Lastly, there is nowhere to store belongings/unpack suitcase. All cupboards are full/locked.
