Unfortunately the kitchen tap handle was loose and came off during our stay. It would be good if the property could be made more suitable for older people with grab handles in the shower for example. Also the door handles on many doors were very stiff making it difficult for my elderly mother to open them. We could not find a vegetable peeler in the utensils so that is really an essential item that is missing. Thank you for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
