    “Very dark, needed lights on all the time.”

    The bellows etc are very unique but out of place in a holiday let and felt intrusive. We appreciate that it was out of season but no-one came to collect our details which we were asked to leave outside so after the first day we took a photo of them and emailed them as we did not want them lying around outside
