Don't stay here
Our bed was very comfortable. The location is great, in the center of town.
The list is very long.
The kitchen utensils were dirty. The kitchen is a ludicrous design, the central units are redundant and create a narrow path right round them making it very hard for two people to successfully work together. 8 people in the kitchen would be impossible. Inadequate supply of kitchen utensils. Broken cafeteria, no grater, not enough wine glasses, plates and cutlery. NO WOODEN SPOONS! Highly dangerous magnetic board for sharp knives directly above the hob. On several occasions a knife dislodged and fell to the work surface.
TV had three controls and no instructions. The owner, when contacted, had no idea how to make it work. We had to watch the world cup semi final on a laptop...
No towels when we arrived. NO WELCOME PACK OR ANY INFORMATION.
Sharp tacks exposed in the carpet up to the top bedrooms. Our friend cut her foot on a tack. En suite bathroom sliding door in the master bedroom doesn't open from the inside once shut. My husband got stuck in it and had to be helped out.
Instructions about recycling, but inadequate bins.
Our basin in the bathroom had the plug stuck in it when we arrived making it impossible to use. The owner was contracted and we were told a plumber would come. They didn't. We solved the problem with a knife to remove the plug.
It is an uncared for second home and not fit for rental.
I am waiting for customer services to get back to me. It simply is not good enough.

Lovely country cottage, ideally situated.
Ideally situated for the town center. Lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds, sunny kitchen and views into the courtyard.
Not enough plates and cutlery, shortage of toilet roll and needed 50p coins for the pool table. Some chairs to be able to sit in the courtyard would have been nice.
