Just an upgrade needs to be done with the TV. Struggled to get our apps linked with the TV, controller wasn't working properly either. Other than that, it was lovely

This was the worst holiday experience we had in our lives in the UK. This property owner is completely a racist who treats as per skin colour.We saw his mood change when he saw us for the first time. When we asked how to operate some equipment at the property, he sacastically laughed and replied, "I do not know," and he also shouted, "You should have come with a known one," when we asked how to open the hot tub. He threatened us to remove the vehicles from the property, and if not, he was going to run over them with his trailor. The bedding is not clean at all. You cannot see it in pictures, but we terribly smelt it. When enquired it he lied us those are just came from the laundry.Flies and mosquitoes are everywhere, but there hasn't been a vaporiser or anything.Wifi is a complete lie.There is no Wifi facility. The TV and its remote are not functioning as well. Do not ever book this terrible rude cottage!!!
