Response from the owner Thanks for your review. As you know we visited immediately after you. We did email response whilst at the appt. I was surprised you did not respond at the time. Perhaps it went into your spam or similar The fridge we found to be working perfectly OK. The temperature thermometer had been turned down to low, don;t know by who, but simply altered that. We had been almost fully booked from Easter to Oct. No one else had problems with the fridge & it seemed to be functioning perfectly well whilst there, and even since. "Shabby & tired looking". everyone has an opinion. Again no one else described as that. It might not be "hip trendy modern", but we believe to be comfortable, homely, traditional & clean. And of course you had sight of all the photos prior to booking. Indeed we rent a lot throughout the world, sometimes we go ultra modern, sometimes more traditional. The toilet issue, had not been reported to us, to be fair. A 10 minute visit from the plumber, fixed. We strive to have happy guests, by supplying a nice clean tidy property, inc a great pool area & having owned & rented for over 20 years have had numerous guests return numerous times. One couple 7 years on the trot, another couple 6 times, numerous ones 2/3 times, which we appreciate. That said, cleanliness in an expected feature & our cleaners have been informed of your observations & check lists put in place to ensure all is spic & span for guests. thankyou
