We arrived later in the evening, which we had advised the property about and our room key was in the lockbox. Unfortunately we entered the room, no heating or lights had been left on. The room was very cold with only a small panel heater located by the doorway. Therefore the room stayed very cool all night, and there was no heating in the bedroom other than the electric blanket on the bed. There was even a sign in the bathroom advising the bathroom heater could not be run for a long time as it would cause an issue with the smoke alarm. This indicates to me a lot of people have struggled to warm the unit. I was also disappointed to discover the fridge was not on and no milk have been provided for a hot drink. It was advantageous to have free carpark on site, just bare in mind if you have a large vehicle that the parks are compact.

Our only complaint is our showers were all only luke warm. When we exited the shower we had to turn the heater on to warm up before dressing. Also having reception closed at check out time ensures you can't be told of any issues hence this review which I hate to do.
