Someone came see to it in our absence but we still couldn't get it to lock. An obvious security issue.The "complementary" loaf of bread was mouldy and well past its sell-by date. There was long, black hair on the wall of one ensuite shower. The round plastic washing up bowl wouldn't fit in the square sink and was therefore useless. There were no small sharp knives and the large ones were blunt with no means of sharpening them. There was no soap or working dispenser in every bathroom. No dishcloth or scourer in kitchen. No cafetiere. Not all bedrooms had bins. This was our third visit to this lovely property rather spoilt by this list of easily fixable issues. It should be 4/5 stars otherwise.

! The setting around the farmhouse is peaceful, beautiful! The house was very comfortable, tho an extra seat in living would have been useful for the 9 of us! Beds were very comfy and rooms clean, lovely!! The WiFi could have been better!
