That said, the chipped crockery is still a problem (mainly small plates) and the bowls are merely slightly deeper plates so replacing these would be a good move. We eventually worked out that the bath tap only requires a quarter turn to turn on but also needs to be pushed in quite forcefully. Otherwise, everything O.K. but the property does need a tidy-up outside, which is looking very run down.

The carport is still broken and quite dangerous in the high winds with bits flying off - luckily none hit our car! The floor in the kitchen is very uneven and quite unsafe to walk on now - it has been like this for all our rental periods despite others mentioning it. Also some of the spotight bulbs in the kitchen do not work. The bath on/off tap is very stiff. There is also no TV guide information available on the Freeview television wihch needs looking at. All in all, a good stay but the above problems need looking at as a matter of some urgency.
