We needed to call for assistance to have it turned on. Unfortunately, from the second day onward, the gas cooker and oven were also out of service, requiring us to wait another day for repairs. Despite the assurance that a portable cooker was available, it was not functional, as it consistently tripped the power of the entire house. This issue prevented us from using essential appliances, such as the kettle and oven, as any attempt to do so would result in a power outage. We sought help but were informed that no one could come due to poor road conditions. We were directed to nearby restaurants, which was less than ideal given our circumstances. Traveling with two young children compounded the challenges we faced, making the experience particularly difficult. Regrettably, what was meant to be a holiday turned into a distressing situation, leaving us feeling quite unsettled by the overall experience.

Microwave is needing replacing. Rusty and chipped. Everything else great. Thanks for providing proper WiFi. Thanks again regards Lily

Jammer dat er zo weinig voorzieningen waren ( voldoende stoelen en een tafel) om ook van de tuin te kunnen genieten. De keuken is ronduit versleten. Bovendien waren heel wat spullen die in de kasten stonden niet proper. Het is niet fijn als je na een autorit van 1200 km ergens toekomt en alles moet beginnen afwassen. Het verblijf op zich kost voldoende en mag dus minstens proper zijn!
