“The positives.”
It was a nice touch with eggs, flowers and milk on arrival. Clean towels and bedding. Comfy living room and bed, and a good supply of tea, coffee, and sugar and cleaning materials.
The location is great for scenery and there is loads to do round about once you drive the six miles to the main road which leads to Fort William to the right.
We rated the stay as a 5 star, as we had an amazing weeks holiday, this was nothing to do with the chalet.
Negatives
Don't be fooled by the photographs, these must have been taken when the property was new.
The property is very tired and in desperate need of updating and maintenance.
The accuracy of the listing is false, as there was no working freezer, which to be fair we were contacted about the week before. I do feel however, this has not been working for some time, and has not just broken, as the door on the freezer didn't shut either.
The coffee machine listed is an old Tassimo in a cupboard, we did not use this, as it looked as though it had been there for years.
The toilet seat in the main bathroom is hanging off and hits you in the back when you sit on it. As this was the case we used the toilet in the en-suite whilst we were there. The shower in the main bathroom does not fasten to the wall, so this could not be used as a shower, other than hand held. The bath panel is also not well fitted and there is a crack in the bath. The shower in the en-suite, kept altering in temperature when being used, although no other taps etc, were being used.
The cooker hood was really greasy and makes an horrendous noise and the boiler also makes some odd noises, maybe this needs a service?
There is no carbon monoxide monitor in place.
There was no fuel for the fire, (as advertised).
Nothing has PAT stickers on, so does not give faith to the fact that any of the electrical equipment has had the necessary safety checks completed.
The wall lamp in the bedroom when switching this on fell off the wall and my husband had to fasten this back on before it could be used.
I could go on, as there were more issues, however, overall the place does need a deep clean and some major maintenance, which we are lead to believe is planned.
It was not worth what we paid for it and we had booked this very well in advance for our 35th wedding anniversary, expecting this to be more like the photos we had seen.
We did have a lovely weeks holiday and enjoyed all Fort William and the surrounding areas had to offer, not letting the accommodation spoil our stay.
