Very good

Property was as described and no issues. Would have been only improved if there were fly screens on all windows and doors - with a dog as well we couldn’t get any air flow with massive temps. We had a great time regardless and hope to come back.

The house was just not a comfortable place to stay. Apart from the bedrooms, everything was not as clean as it should be. By the time the shower glass is rusted, (looked dirty) it’s time to replace it! Screen door fell off one hour after arrival. I know it’s meant to be a retro house, but it needs a bit more work on it.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet expectations and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. While the home does have a retro style, cleanliness and functionality are top priorities, and it’s clear we fell short in some areas during your visit. We’ve flagged the screen door and shower glass for immediate review and will look into any other maintenance needs to ensure a better experience moving forward. We value all feedback as it helps us improve, and we do hope you’ll consider staying with us again in the future.
