The heating consisted of some oil filled radiators which were very ineffective and used a lot of energy so we had to stop using them. Surely in this day and age central heating should be a basic requirement.

The property itself was ideal but there were various unsatisfactory features: Tiling on bathroom floor needs replacing as is worn and is not hygienic. Shower controls need securing/renewing and pressure needs improving. Electric towel rail is loose. Cooker controls have worn away so you cannot read the temperature setting. Duvet was thin and worn and pillows very flat. Windows bedroom needs attention ... condensation and dirty windowsill. DVD very noisy - needs upgrading as it is nice to use this if weather is bad. Needs to be highlighted that the electricity for the property runs on meter. Basic condiments would be nice as there was not even salt and pepper. The property itself is ideally located and is cosy but these enhancements would have immensely improved our stay.
