“We accessed the property about 40 mins after the time we were supposed to as the cleaners were still there.”
I thought this might be a good thing as it would ensure it would be nice and clean.
There had clearly been a guest with a pet and there was animal hair EVERYWHERE. We stayed for 2 weeks and swept daily and the hair was still coming up. That was disappointing.
The stairway the way you enter the property is the first impression of the house. The carpet is very worn and dirty - I don't think it reflects the rest of the property at all and must admit, I was a little concerned until I got upstairs to the main living area and saw how nice it was. I would recommend the owners consider an investment to improve.
The chairs at the table were very cheap and the back legs were damaged on many of them - splayed out, giving a very unsteady feeling when sitting at the table.
There were fairy lights on the balcony which did not work - they are very old and rusted and seem like they haven't worked for some time - consider removing ?
The communal area at the property is clearly not maintained by anyone. It's hugely overgrown with weeds which block the walkways through to various properties. We had to break down 2 enormous weeds to get through to the Beach Hut - that seems a shame given the properties that are holiday lets are clearly fully booked. Consider a small investment to have that area maintained ?
On a more positive note - we had a broken blind which was reported and fixed within 24 hours. We also had a broken catch on the oven door which was also reported and fixed while we were there.
I found all John Bray staff to be pleasant, helpful and professional in my interactions.

We are so sorry for the inconvenience and frustration caused by these issues but thank you for bringing them to our attention, as a result of your comments the property is now undergoing renovations such as new carpets and dining chairs.
