Nice property spoilt by a few issues

The host didn’t send details of how to access the property, once we arrived we had to wait an hour and a half to get through to the host as the manager was on maternity leave. The door to the cottage we had booked (number 1) was open, so I wondered if the door had been left open for our arrival as we weren’t able to contact the manager directly or through VRBO, so I entered to only find another group was staying in the property. We were eventually given the code to get into number 2, which although a very similar property had different furniture as to what was shown in the pictures. The biggest issue being an awful sofa which was hard and very uncomfortable. We booked the stay quite last minute, as my wife had recently been in hospital for a serious cardiac issue. The stress upon arrival was very unwelcome. It’s a real shame as the property has a lot going for it - set in a beautiful area. The BBQ and picnic area is lovely and the property is pet friendly. Unfortunately due to the issues we had we wouldn’t stay again and feel the price was far too high considering the furniture in the property.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2024
Hi Adam, Thank you for taking the time to write a review . I’m sorry to hear you were waiting so long. The access code is always sent automatically via our booking system. Unfortunately we had an error that weekend so that automation didn’t occur. I wish you had called the number provided as we would have given you the code instantly. I am sorry for the inconvenience. As I mentioned VRBO has included Cottage 1 in the line of our property addresses. So even though the names, pictures and descriptions of the property is correct, I can see how there can be confusion. I am trying to change this but VRBO are not making it easy . Thank you for the feed back about our furnishings. We just had the sofas replaced, so I’m surprised to hear this. But we take guest comfort seriously, and will take your feed back into account in our next quality review . Warm regards, Sarah
