Nevermind. There is problem with the downstairs push in lights for the hall and outside. When you push them in it trips the electric upstairs.

Was a disgusting mess , it was a lovely quirky place with a great view of the sea out of the window but the niggles we had were the double bed was a bit too small for our liking as we kept banging our arms when we turned over on our sides also the washing machine was full of dirty stagnant water upon arrival and there was no welcome pack . It was in a great location if you donât mind hills and steps !
