    “A lovely week in this property.”

    2 minor suggestions: a teapot would be lovely, and, for light sleepers, it would be nice if the hinges on the bathroom door were oiled to eliminate the squeaks ;-). FYI, please check the torch: likely i was doing something wrong, but i couldn't get it to hold a charge long enough to even quit squeezing the handle AND to read digits on lockbox---great hand exerciser tho! That electric "wood stove" was wonderful after a chilly day out; warmed us quickly!

    Dear Miss Jensen, We are delighted your enjoyed your stay at Winter Cottage. There are actually 2 torches at the cottage, the kinetic torch kept in the porch and a battery powered torch kept in the kitchen.I accept that the kinetic torch requires constant squeezing and would not be ideal when trying to open the lock box. Also, I realise that, having found one torch, you would not think to look for another torch. I will think of somewhere more visible to store the battery torch and I will probably remove the kinetic torch. I have oiled the hinges! Thanks for alerting me. Kind Regards, Steven Property Owner
