Shame about the weather…
The layout and general facilities were good and the size is perfect for a couple There was a lack of basic tea and coffee provisions and the “hob” did not work. Also the TV did not work either on Freeview or using the apps over WiFi. This was raised in email on the first evening but no response was received
