Lovely house in great location

Walking distance to the village, the house was well equipped, and comfortable for our group. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Rude Host

This stay was marred by an initial run-in with a rude host. The host failed to send the usual information pack needed for the stay in advance, giving details of the key safe location, code etc. A few days before the trip I realised I had not received anything and asked for the key safe code, which he supplied in a terse note saying this information had already been given. It had not - neither by email nor available through the VRBO app/website - which is why I emailed. When we arrived at the property the key safe was nowhere to be found. I eventually managed to get hold of the host on the phone to ask for its location and he was abrupt with me in person, saying in an exasperated way that the details had already been supplied, and adding in a condescending manner, as if I were clearly stupid, “Everyone else has managed to find it”. I eventually found the key safe in a place that would have been impossible to locate without being supplied with details in advance. I have been renting holiday cottages through Vrbo and similar sites for many years and have never yet failed to easily gain access to a property. The thing that particularly struck me was that even if the host did believe he'd sent the information in advance, was there still any reason to be rude on the phone, especially to someone paying you the best part of £1.6k? What trouble is it to simply be helpful and polite? The property is actually very nice, but there is plenty of choice in Braemar so I would not come back.

Not the standard expected

The house has great potential – for example the sun room is lovely – but we did not feel the accommodation met our expectations for example: - Electrical incident: the washing machine started smoking after two uses. Luckily, we were in the property and were able to turn the appliance off before the smoke turned to fire. The machine – a Miele Special Electronic W 754 S – is very, very old, indeed a quick search on the internet suggests this model was last produced in 1989. This machine is not at all what one would expect, and it must not come as a surprise to you that it broke down in such a dangerous way. This then negatively impacted upon our stay: I’m sure you’ll agree washing clothes by hand in the bath each night is not something one wants to do on their holiday. - Dangerous dryer: the appliance with your *FIRE RISK* warning sticker on it fortunately did not go on fire. However, this is not safe as the extractor tube at the rear is inappropriately attached with a curtain hook meaning it simply hangs down and does not actually extract anything from the dryer. - Musty/ stale smell: upon arrival the house smelt. It badly needed aired. Despite opening all the windows, the smell lingered throughout the week, and some of our clothes smelt stale. It was hard to get rid of the smell, perhaps as all the external air bricks have been boarded up with slates, and a number of the bedroom furniture pieces had someone’s clothes either hanging up or in drawers. - Worn out couches: two of the three couches just don’t work! Their cushions desperately need replaced. - Missing bed linen and towels: we had to contact you and your housekeeper to provide us with enough of these for the eight guests we had booked for. - Dirty place mats: these had crusted remains of food on them. We needed to clean them prior to use.

Fantastic place

Lovely house with great views. Great location just on the edge of the village, near the duck pond. House is very comfortable and spacious, and well appointed (cooking utensils etc). Beds and linen very comfortable, too - more like a home than a holiday let. Highly recommended.
