No batteries 4 the remote for the music system, luckily I had 2 that were ok. No tea towels present. Apart from that, I had a very nice break thank you

A freezer compartment would be useful. Having a coffee table with a flat surface is safer for avoiding spillages. Your instructions for (bath) water heating would be improved by mentioning red light (red light = on?) Swimming pool availability? It wasn't a big problem for us but it seemed like it had been unavailable for a while.

The house was really dirty when we came in. Doghairs were everywhere. We found a dirty a dirty sock and even a hard dried out sausage under the couch. The water boiler was full of fungus, the plates and glasses in the kitchen were not clean at all.There was no warm water in the kitchen to do the dishes! The beds were really sweaty, felt like we were wrapped in a plastic microwave..there was a broom..a plastic one with a big dent in it.Used it twice and it snapped. We even had to buy our own pans because the ones in the house were dirty and scratched. This is really risky for your health!! We were glad we left after a week. The environment was lovely but i wouldn't even recommended this house to my worst enemy.
