    Owner's reply:
    Thanks for taking the time to let us know about the issues with the house. The bed bolts and screws have now been tightened, so the bed no longer creaks. We're sorry the mattress was not hard enough for you - we chose one that is mid-range in softness, so that it would work for as many people as possible, but we realise that personal taste in mattress firmness varies. We're sorry about the smell in the bathroom - rather than being caused by the Edwardian sewage system, it was caused by the U-trap having dried out, from the house not being in continuous use over the winter months; this should no longer be the case with the house being fully occupied for the rest of the season (so the U bend trap stays full of water as it should be). We have also now put chemicals down both shower and bath drains. Of course hair left in the drain is not acceptable, and our cleaners have been reminded to check each time. We have the highest standards of cleaning. We're glad you enjoyed the views -they are indeed spectacular.
