Wish there was a Pet Friendly option! When filling in the filter on this app, I wish there was a pet friendly box to choose or not , whichever the case may be . It is available if you search from the website but not the app. This makes it harder searching for the type of property you require as you have to go through them all to find ones you need, pet friendly or no pets !!

Hi Denise - we class pets as part of the family. That's why we have included them in the initial search under guests. If you click there how many pets - the properties that are pet friendly and available will come up in your search. Hope this helps in future and thanks for the feedback

Poor overall. Oven pan left very dirty. We had to clean it and had to buy scourers to do so. Fridge door milk storage shelf was broken. Had to stand milk inside which wasn't ideal as it took up the front of the fridge. Shower sewage odour and kept switching from hot to cold. Outside lights not working At 62 yrs old,I had to clamber on and off the bed to get out as it was sited right next to the wall. None of these were deal breakers, and yes, I know it's a pod, but together, not ideal.

the worst customer service. cannot get through to anyone. when I finally did manage to track an email down (from a disgruntled customer on reddit), I got one reply to my query which had nothing to do with my query. its all just run by bots by the looks of it. wouldn't recommend. Will be using a different company next time. one that actually bothers helping its clients.
