Lovely house to enjoy spending time with family, but Hot tub was out of action. The host advised us of this on the day of arrival and compensated us for this. However Very disappointed by the Kitchen equipment, The oven only has one hack, No rack for grill pan so no able to use only one rack makes cooking for a family very difficult. No pyrex or suitable microwave utensils - so again not able to use, frying pan and baking tray in very bad condition and not usable, hazardous to health, had to purchase own frying pan, also contacted owner by email, no response all week, message left in the house with frying pan and baking tray. Never responded. Outdoor area neads attention to make it more pleasant to sit out.
