The host was lovely and easy to contact. The actual property itself is gorgeous. The let down with the property was how much dirt, dust and hair was all over the floors. The place was far from clean and had food sitting in the pantry open. For the high price you pay to stay here I do feel like it should have been much cleaner than it was. I also do not remember reading about someone coming to the property twice a day to feed the chickens. This needs to be a disclaimer to future guests before booking if it is not already as it feels very un private. Apologies if this was mentioned and I missed it when I made the booking.
