“I was disappointed that certain things were lacking.”
1.No instructions and operating details. It took a while to jiggle the WiFi into working, TV was signal-less on arrival and only after reconnecting arial did I get a signal. No Info on waste disposal, bin day (though there was a substantial build up of waste in the 3 wheelie bins which were full to overflowing at the bottom of garden)
2. Garden was so overgrown, especially the privet hedge which blocked the steps down to the bin and caused one to become soaked through pushing past it as the weather was unseasonably wet on 4 out of 7 days.
3. No tea-towels which irritated me. It happens too often and I object to dragging tea-towels with me from Germany whenever I book a property which claims to provide bed linen & towels.
4. Found the ironing board but disappointingly there was no iron. A futile effort to provide facilities that sadly failed.
5. There was no warning of reduced headroom in the bathroom. It drove me to distraction how often I bumped my head whilst cleaning my teeth or washing hands after using toilet.
6. No warning of the pot-holed access road which constantly caused the underside of my car to come into contact with it, actually track not road...
7. Eventually I managed to have a warm shower without burning myself. The mixer on the downstairs shower has perhaps seen better days or is poorly conceived in combination with the combi boiler.
8. I assumed there was a septic tank, though the contact assures me there isn't, as whenever one released water from inside the property (as when using the washing machine) there was a dreadful stink in the garden.
On the good side, the sitting room was comfortable and on the cold miserable evenings the multi fuel burner created a cosy end to the day.
