- The home isn't as clean as I'd hoped and I expected from the exceptional previous rating. There's a lot of webs around, a bit of an infestation of either tiny mozzie or drain flies in the bathroom and for the general areas there isn't a vacuum available to do a mid stay clean. There's lots of dusty areas (skirting boards etc) and it just presents as would benefit from a deep clean. That said, I didn't feel it was dirty per se.... With an almost mobile baby i had hoped to be able to whip around with a vacuum.. For longer stays this could be problematic.
- booking.com indicates an ensuite bathroom which is incorrect (no biggie). Booking.com "near attractions" etc also outdated (not fault of owner or management)
- 1 towel (bath towel not bath sheet) provided per person for a 4 night stay. I was unable to locate spares anywhere... 1 face washer was provided. Apologies if I missed spares and this is unrepresentative.
- entire house is slightly misleading in my view as part of the house isn't included which is totally fine and those parts are not pictured, however also not included is a laundry. Not listed at all or indicated but I had just assumed given it said entire house (laundry us in the garage I understand).
We did really enjoy our stay though for a few factors would likely choose not to stay here again. These comments are purely to inform others of what I wish I knew before we booked :) eg we just would have taken extra towels with us and more clothes without expecting to have been able to wash
- think some things have changed since the old reviews on other sites were posted (I read reviews across many sites before booking)
- the deck whilst awesome does need some work. A piece of decking out the front cracked as we walked on it, and out the back there's many nails and splinters sticking up. No big deal and not unsafe per se just don't go out or let kids out without shoes! :)
