We were surprised at how big the place was it was huge.The heating worked well, the bath water was hot, the bed was comfortable, and the TV had a good choice of Netflix, YouTube, etc. Location not far from Birmingham NEC we walked, and it takes maybe 30 minutes. We were allowed to check in 1 hour earlier as we arrived whilst the cleaner was preparing the house. We felt the arrangement of waiting for a telephone call to let us know where the keys were going to be kept for pick up very unusual & we weren't comfortable with that arrangement hence why we arrived early. We used the cooker and fridge & the cutlery and plates, etc, were ample enough.The lighting was okay, apart from the lamp situation.The rating for the house was really low, but we feel this house could be fantastic so we felt it deserved a 7 rating.

Sadly, there is no fuse in the microwave or the toaster, so they didn't work. There's only 1 lamp in the whole house, a tall floor lamp but sadly it had no bulb in it ( we like to read in bed ) The area is directly under the flight path for Birmingham International Airport, but they did stop in the evening time and through the early hour's until about 07.00 am. Front door us on a saloon like arrangement, so you needed 2 keys, and the key chain just kept losing the keys as it's a cheap loop thing.The garden was in need of some TLC with lots of unfinished work outside.
