The sink in the bathroom became harder to empty as the week went along and needs clearing.

Cottage needs some minor improvements and maintenance to get the highest rating. We have already rebooked for next year.

The sink in the bathroom doesn't drain away correctly and appears to have a small block. Lots of cobwebs? The frying pans need throwing away and 2 news ones small and a large to be bought. We have been here many a time so we have seen the changes?
