Adele
This time although a change to the time of year we usually occupy we were short on a couple of points. Towels were not provided for the win bedroom so used those left in the twin room. We had also brought it own. Also, although not majorly important, no welcome pack e.g. Previously had milk, scones. Could not get the bottom oven to work and no instruction for use. Not everyone is accustomed to gas cookers! Coud be a point of safety.
