“This is a lovely bungalow in a very peaceful rural location, and certainly the best-equipped rental place we have ever stayed in!”
A few minor niggles didn't detract from our enjoyment, though the weather did. We were never able to sit out on the patio as it was too cold and windy, and eventually went home three days early. We had chosen the wrong ten days!
Niggles:
The spray from the shower-head is very weak, making it difficult to know if your hair is rinsed sufficiently; and we had to tie it up with string, otherwise it just flopped down when the water was running,
We didn't need a winter-weight duvet (12.5 tog) on the bed in June/July.
Facing east, the front bedroom window would benefit from a blackout blind as well as the black-out curtains, to eliminate more early-morning light.
Quite a major niggle was the lack of organisation of paperwork relating to various appliances: we never did find instructions for the oven and how to set its clock to the correct time. Instruction leaflets for current appliances, and other important information, should be in one folder, clearly labelled and on show for new visitors. There were leaflets and other papers in several drawers, but all in a muddle, which was quite frustrating.
But we appreciated the comfort and relaxation that our short break gave us.
Thank you - but please sort out the paperwork in the drawers and discard what is not relevant!
