We were fortunate family friends rented a nearby property as we had to use their house for showers/toilets as we did not have access to water/water pressure for half of our visit. We arrived late on a Friday. On Saturday morning the water pressure was super low but we were able to shower and use the sinks. On Sunday morning we woke up to no water whatsoever. .We called the PM who promptly ordered more water. When the water was delivered we had water again. We went out for the day and returned that night to, again, no water. A burning smell was in the garage where the water pump was. A handyman was sent out who fixed the pump. He noted the pump had been improperly repaired before which caused some sort of short. He was surprised the breaker had not been tripped and was also surprised the pump had not been irretrievably broken. He replaced a part on the pump and got it to work again. He noted the kitchen sink had low water pressure probably due to some sort of blockage in the sink pipes. This we could live with. These repairs took place on a Sunday night. On Monday, we woke up again to no water, called the PM who again sent out a handyman who diagnosed the issue to a running toilet and said we had low water. (I checked the plancha for water and it was full). We had already left to our friend's house because we had to use their facilities. While I am not expert, I am 99% the issue is with the pump. When the PM initially came out just prior to the handyman, she noted that pumps are expensive to replace. The burning smell, the prior repairs, the new part all suggest it probably needs to be replaced.
Not having WIFI, no use of the fireplaces or dishwashers, hard beds, but most importantly no water made for a disappointing visit. We wish that we had been offered a partial refund.
