Nice property spoilt by a few issues
The host didn’t send details of how to access the property, once we arrived we had to wait an hour and a half to get through to the host as the manager was on maternity leave. The door to the cottage we had booked (number 1) was open, so I wondered if the door had been left open for our arrival as we weren’t able to contact the manager directly or through VRBO, so I entered to only find another group was staying in the property. We were eventually given the code to get into number 2, which although a very similar property had different furniture as to what was shown in the pictures. The biggest issue being an awful sofa which was hard and very uncomfortable. We booked the stay quite last minute, as my wife had recently been in hospital for a serious cardiac issue. The stress upon arrival was very unwelcome. It’s a real shame as the property has a lot going for it - set in a beautiful area. The BBQ and picnic area is lovely and the property is pet friendly. Unfortunately due to the issues we had we wouldn’t stay again and feel the price was far too high considering the furniture in the property.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
