Great house with many good features. Things that could be improved: 1. Beds were double and not King size as stated. 2. Ensuite shower very slippy. Had to use towel as bath mat. 3. Washing machine stopped 10mins before end of programme. 4. No instructions for appliances. 5. All door locks were very difficult. 6. More towels would be good but others have commented on this in the past.
