“Don't depend on the wifi - it's intermittent at best.”

Also your network signal may be weak, altogether leaving you without communication means.

“Hugh and Caroline made us very welcome and were always around to answer any questions We enjoyed the company of their free range chickens and their very friendly dog.”

Fruit and vegetables fresh from their garden most enjoyable.

“No freezer compartment in fridge, very small screen TV, microwave stored in cupboard if we required it we had to lift it out and find space to put it and plug it in, no curtains in bedroom only a very thin blind so the bedroom was very bright until 10.”

30pm, hard to sleep if you went to bed before, only one small saucepan, no welcome pack only a small jar of jam, disappointing really.
