    “1) The use of a long extension cord across the length of the kitchen floor in order to supply power to the refrigerator and microwave poses a tripping hazard and is dangerous.”

    Furthermore, the first time we used the microwave, it caused a power outage. We therefore had to unplug the microwave and could not use it for the remainder of our stay. 2) We found the barbecue in a deplorable state of filth and spent at least an hour cleaning it before it could be used. In fact, we had to go and buy a newspaper in order to deal with the accumulated grease and bits of food debris.

    Furthermore, the first time we used the microwave, it caused a power outage. We therefore had to unplug the microwave and could not use it for the remainder of our stay. 2) We found the barbecue in a deplorable state of filth and spent at least an hour cleaning it before it could be used. In fact, we had to go and buy a newspaper in order to deal with the accumulated grease and bits of food debris. This was all the more galling as we were charged a 'cleaning fee' – but we had to clean the barbecue ourselves in order to be able to use it. 3) The listing stated that a TV is available. However, this information is false, given that there is no access to Freeview in the unit. 4) We were supplied with only one towel each for a stay of 8 days – despite paying an exorbitant fee for the supply of linen. This meant that we had to phone Bachcare – wasting our holiday time – to request clean towels and teatowels. 5) The cutlery is in a parlous state and there is only one wine glass – in a unit designed for two people.

    Hi Dina, thank you for providing feedback. The electrical issue has been fixed with a new power point, so that will not be an issue going forward, and new cutlery and wine glasses have been added. Since your review, the BBQ been replaced with a brand new one. The property has a Smart TV and Wifi. Bachcare
