Garden was great and our small dogs didnât manage to escape. We found it chilly at times and couldnât seem to alter the heating. Hot tub was lovely but no lights in that area made it unusable after 6. Cot, stair-gates and high chair much appreciated and all there ready. Appreciated the logs and we got kindling from the garden.All appliances easy to use and bathroom tv a real luxury. No real gripes except a non slip bath mat would have been nice for the baby and the oldie.
