We were let down by two shower heads being broken and the fact the biomass system ran out of pellets and which meant we didnât have hot to shower on the day of the funeral we were attending. That made everything extremely stressful for the family. Someone came to add pellets but the water didnât heat up quick enough, so we had cold showers!!! The property needs recycling bins. Otherwise, the property was well equipped.
