There were good things about this property, such as the space. We had our rather large family over one day and there was no problem accommodating everyone. The kids had a grand time playing tennis and running about with a football. However, there were a myriad problems starting with no hot water for about 24 hours. The host was quick enough with communication and had the problem fixed the day after we arrived (a lovely young man came to help us, and also brought extra things the house was lacking), but he was slow to believe that there was an issue to begin with. The house is run on timed immersion, so water heats in the a.m. and p.m., but if you need to do dishes in the middle of the day you are out of luck. The description of the property is old, and you no longer have access to the acreage mentioned when we booked. There is also construction directly behind the property (which started just before 7 a.m. 6 days a week), and with the hot summer we had to have the windows open in order to not suffocate. That meant a layer of dust and grit over everything, including inside the suitcases. If it were cool this wouldn’t be an issue, and the underfloor heating seems lovely. The showers were quite mouldy and we had to buy bleach spray to clean two of them. There was a leak in one shower that rained upon my mother’s head downstairs, but that was on the last day we were there - I’m sure it will be fixed for the next tenant. Luxurious 30 years ago, but needs updates.
