Single bed not very comfortable my son swooped beds. Settees hard not comfortable. Oven badly needs cleaning. Good to have a washer but no tumble dryer so no good as the weather wasn’t suitable for drying outdoors. The carpet coming out of the kitchen needs fixing down could be a trip hazard. In the countryside so weren’t expecting facilities pubs shop etc. house lovely and warm and clean except for the oven. Dishwasher was great. Possibly make visitors aware to bring milk cleaning cloth dishwasher tablets etc. we had to go to the supermarket as soon as we arrived so we could have a cup of tea. Etc. great potential in the property major things have been done eg electric double glazing. Need to spend now on detail. ? Possibility of upstairs toilet? I hope this helps. Thank you mathew and family
