Overall the property is well set up for guests, but could do with a few basic items, such as a clothes airer, especially as there is a washing machine, even though there is a clothes line, plus a long handled broom and dustpan and brush. The plug in the downstairs en suite basin needs replacing, but the caretaker managed to unlock it so it was usable. We couldn't find an iron although there was an ironing board.
