Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Whilst the house itself is a lovely stone building, we felt the listing was misleading. None of the bedrooms are really separate bedrooms. One room has Perspex instead of glass in the window, while another sleeping area is simply a bed with a curtain that pulls around it. In reality, you’re essentially all sleeping in one shared space.Even the “master bedroom” with the Perspex window sits directly above the kitchen with very little sound insulation between, so noise travels easily. The other sleeping areas are separated only by curtains. Whilst this is mentioned in the listing, they are not as substantial as described and one curtain doesn’t even pull fully across.The kitchen was functional, but there was quite a bit of leftover clutter from previous guests, including scraps of paper and old food. Beyond the sleeping arrangements, the whole property felt as though it would benefit from some updating and a thorough deep clean.
