Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### henrietta ward Dec 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Several things wrong with house The bath top floor leaks all over the floor and through the ceiling as soon as the plug is taken out. Reported Friday. It looks like this wasn’t the first time. Central heating works fine for most of the house, bar the single room middle floor, and the hallway to the staircase ground floor, which were stone cold. The heating comes on at random times with no obvious or published way for the guest to decide. The kitchen electrics required circuit breakers to be reset Fri evening, kettle, microwave and hot tub through the wall were on. Top floor twin room has no door knobs, 2 young children had to be rescued. The top floor bathroom has a loose doorknob on the inside, ie it comes off in your hand. Downstairs toilet seat very loose. Kitchen dustbin needs replacing, you have to take the lid off, rather than use it’s correct function. Middle floor small bannister is loose on the wall. Middle floor bedroom door does not fully shut. Dining room clock was still on British summer time, so what, but maybe the heating is set up the same way. Only 2 teaspoons in a house with 9 beds! It would be very useful for guests to having printed info rather than rely on a link. Email received late, so finding the wifi code ? The heating info needs more detail, there are various thermostat sensors, which are not obvious to set. Microwave has a loose panel on the front. Electric fire in lounge, we tried due the central heating, but not sure it is even connected. TV in snug , ground floor, has no aerial lead. ##### henrietta ward Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacques G.
