Bathroom radiator didn't work so freezing bathroom. Outside lights didn't work so dangerous walking outside at night Hot tub had too many chemicals in and ruined clothing Freezer didn't work and food defrosted Cooker was useless. Took nearly two hours to cook a 30 min meal. There was no starter pack or fuel for log burner. Such a disappointing trip as the hut itself and location looked amazing but just wasn't up to spec. Definitely not worth the £490 price tag
