The downstairs toilet door scraped badly on the floor tiles Parking was really difficult when the people opposite parked outside their house, the street was so narrow that we driving towards the beach was difficult, I doubt if emergency vehicles could get through. Some splashback tiles at all the bathrooms would make them look much nicer and hide the cracked and broken paintwork.

The kitchen was new. There were plenty of glasses and mugs available. Cutlery and crockery supplies were good but pots and pans were so old looking and we didn't feel like using them. We had invited two other families ther. We realised the following morning that there was a big yellow stain on our white bedding. We were reluctant to sleep there and hopped the rooms offered our guests had better bedding. I was embarrassed to ask. There were no spare toilet rolls, specially for downstairs toilet where visited most. Hand wash and toiletries near to none.
