Mr Kearns
December 2019

“We stayed in December and the lounge was a little too cold.”

The kitchen dinning living room was really warm and would have been good if we could have watched tv in that room.

The kitchen dinning living room was really warm and would have been good if we could have watched tv in that room. The steps to the apartment are very steep and would have benefited from mains pir lighting as it is very dark .

Thank you very much for taking the time to give us your feedback, we were very pleased at the high scores you gave your experience and we’re glad that overall you had an enjoyable holiday. We mus apologise for the issues you have mentioned: we had problems with our property manager, who was supposed to be dealing with this after the first guest raised the issues. We've since changed managers. The plumber has today fixed a sticking valve on the radiator and re-balanced the system (apparently most heat was going to the bathroom). We sincerely hope that resolves the issue and will be keeping a close eye on it. Our electrician is hoping to install more outside stair lighting tomorrow. Owner relations
