Self-Catering facilities a shambles.. Suggest the owners spend a week there self-catering.
Fridge not working on arrival, phoned and the cleaning girl came. Didn't know what was the problem and did something eventually, she nor I know what, and the fridge did come on.
Microwave had no instructions and as you know every microwave is different in appearance and operation . There was an instruction book hidden under a lot of other leaflets etc, but it was for a different microwave, presumably the one before this.
Dining cutlery and crockery fine but not so the cooking and food preparation equipment. A few examples - kitchen scissors looked like a pair of children's paper-cutting scissors, could hardly get an adult finger and thumb in the holes. There were no fewer than 3 can openers, 2 of which did not work at all and the other did but with some difficulty. Spoons for cooking and/ or serving inadequate, one wooden one with very short handle, one oversized metal one.
Fortunately we took ready-cooked main meals with us and ate out half the time. It would have driven me potty trying to prepare food with that equipment. It had the look of things that one no longer wanted in the kitchen at home and the cottage was a dump for them.
