Not all the outside lights working especially the one at the rear overlooking the hottub and some interior bulbs blown or just not working. Would also suggest maybe some blinds for the kitchen windows. Overall though it had everything we needed for our stay and was very comfortable and would book the property again.

Staubsauger und Toaster kaputt, Teppiche dreckig.Terassentüren, die Fluchttüren waren, lieÃen sich nicht öffnen. Der Weg zum Cottage war katastrophal, ohne SUV wäre die Achse gebrochen. Wir würden das Haus nie wieder buchen.
