We enjoyed our stay it suited our purpose.
There are things that need attending to. Fix the kitchen tapsFix the handles on the cupboard door There are no wine glasses!!! (Luckily I had my own!)Perhaps a reorganization of the cupboards and drawers ….. The house was very comfortable for us but wouldn’t like to stay there with 8 people ……
