On arrival the property was very cold and the sitting room smelt of damp.The downstairs shower room radiator did not function making it impossible to use the shower. Looking back at other comments it appears to be an ongoing issue which needs fixing.I am partially disabled which prevents me from getting in and out of a bath easily, this made my stay difficult.The double bed also needs the mattress replacing it has a large dip on the left side looking up to the headboard. This is clearly visible. Again making sleeping very uncomfortable.These 2 issues I feel let down what otherwise is a pleasant. property
