We had trouble with the hand basin it was blocked and dirty, and the hot water was not hot enough to have a shower. The heater only had one setting it got very hot so you had to turn it off, then back on when you got cold.

The owners could not speak English, it was very difficult to communicate with them.
The photos on the website did not match what it really looked like.
The 'spa' was cracked & very old.
There was only 1 dishtowel & nothing to wipe the counters with.
The website said that there was coffee & a plunger in the room, biscuits on arrival, hairdryer & toiletries - there none of those things, only a liquid soap dispenser.
The bathroom looked nothing like the photo, the floor was old & stained. There was no nice shower cubical & no nice basin as per the photos on the website.
Very disappointing.
