No instructions for TV so unable to view. Hoover not working and bits missing. Comfortable accommodation and nothing essential that didn’t work.

The property was very clean and tidy.
The property was very clean and tidy.It had a good selection of cookware, plates etc.It was good to find cutting knives that were actually sharp !The electronic lock on the front door took a bit of getting use to, as did the TV. But both worked fine, once you had used them a few times.
