There was an issue with the shower, it just stayed boiling hot despite turning the temp right down and the WiFi just did not work unless very early in the morning The hot tub could also do with a few things fixing, the pillows kept coming off and the filter panel - I assume it has been a busy season for them. Apart from that we had a very lovely stay

The only downside was the lack of a proper soft sweeping brush as I am 70 years old with a hip and knee replacement I found it difficult to sweep the floor with a hand rush and pan
