“After discovering the oven didn’t work we contacted the company and the maintenance guy also wasn’t able to make it work.”
Amazingly, on our return to The Haven the following day, we found a note to say he had replaced a part and it was working.
He also replace three light bulbs which we felt were a bit high to reach.
Very good service.
