Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The cottage was clean when we arrived. We received the wrong code for the lock box, so it took us a while to figure that out. It is advertised as having a king bed, Not so.. it is a VERY firm QUEEN bed. I would not have rented if I had know it was a queen bed. The hot water pressure in the shower was very low. There was no hair dryer provided.
The property was very nice, decorated tastefully, great kitchen & bathroom, very well kept and privateHighly recommend staying here as a couple or individuals
The house was great, beautifully decorated and just like the listing. Hottub worked great. Very pretty land and surrounding areas that our dog loved. Few downfalls: we weren’t given the correct code for the door at check in (was quickly fixed and we got in). The WiFi completely went out, maintenance came but couldn’t fix it. There was barely any service so any communication was very difficult (we had to go back down to main road to message the hosts). And for some reason the front door wouldn’t lock? (We didn’t open it until the second day as we were using the other door) so we had to put a chair underneath the handle to “lock”it. We paid a lot of money to stay here, and overall the house was very nice. Just some minor inconveniences…but hey stuff happens! Guest services said they should be getting in touch with us so we will see.
