"Had a lovely week at 1 Islam Cottages which was in a convenient spot for walking, buses, trains and shops."
Did have to put heating on as it turned a bit chilly and did not automatically come on when temperature dropped. Could not find instruction manual for washing machine and disappointed there wasn’t an iron and ironing board as clothes were a bit creased when we unpacked our clothes. On the whole we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends and family.
Thank you for the feedback. Good to hear that you had a good time on your holiday. Glad you found the heating control and could keep yourself warm. Thanks for letting us know about the washing machine manual. It should have been the welcome folder with all the other manuals so we’ll make sure it gets replaced for future guests. Property Owner
