Sufficient size for 4 and quirky layout. Adequate parking space. Struggled with oven, insufficient supply of crockery and pans, especially with using dishwasher. Required hooks for towels in bathroom and more toilet rolls. Could not locate a sweeping brush for kitchen floor and felt guilty for not been able to give a sweep, especially after muddy, wet walks. Telly network needs updating. Could only find doggy poo bags, when searching for bin liners for bedding upon departing. Needs owner to use for a week to determine making more user friendly, they were Very pleasant n helpful.
