    Although we were generally very impressed with this property and had a lovely holiday, a few tweaks would have made it perfect:- 1. The sofas were past their best and were pretty uncomfortable 2. An iron was provided, but no ironing board (the property notes said one could be borrowed, but why not provide one in the first place?) 3. Only 3 cutlery knives were provided, which was mean. The lovely big dishwasher meant we only had to use it for crockery etc. every couple of days, but we had to handwash the knives after every meal. 4. The bedside lights had beautiful, but very impractical beaded shades on them, that let through virtually no light at all. The first night we left the main light on to read in bed, but the next night we had to remove the shades
