You have to press in different places to get it to work.everything else is prefect.walk to beach is easy going down but very steep coming back up,you also need a torch if coming back late.the garden is very big great for the dogs.we loved it will be coming back.

You left notes to say clean the BBQ, I had to clean it before we could use it. There was a spillage under the microwave which hadn't been cleaned, and we had to wipe the fridge over before we put food in it. Every time you had a shower in the bathroom, we would have to wipe the floor over. It would have been nice to have a shower outside to rinse our wetsuits under. Maybe the outside toilet would have been nice if it worked. For how many people are allowed in the house, it would be nice to have another toilet.

The mattresses on the single beds were very uncomfortable we had to go and buy a mattress topper and also the double mattress was not very comfy. Someone had left the bbq in a dirty state and it had gone rusty so we had to buy disposable ones. The garden was lovely which the children thoroughly enjoyed except there was no swing or slide which said they had. The wooden patio on the lower garden was rotten. It would be nice to have some garden chairs to sit on up in the top garden and the start button on the washing machine takes a long time to get it to start. Lastly there was only one tee towel and no hand towels in the kitchen or bathrooms but our stay was very enjoyable and so quiet it was lovely and can't wait to go back and the children loved the garden
