The positives.
Nockolds cottage is conveniently located in the centre of Walpole, next to the IGA and the Caltex. The cottage is quite spacious with plenty of storage space for 2 adults and possibly a child. The living room, kitchen and bedroom looked quite clean. The kitchen was equipped well enough for a few nights stay and the mini oven worked really well. The master bed was very comfy and the main bedroom had a large chest of drawers and built-in wardrobes for your vacation clothing. There is also a washing machine available for use.
The negatives.
Little touches that you find in your usual Airbnb such a welcoming note, tea and coffee, etc. were missing. The seating in the living room was not very comfortable so it was a bit hard to relax and chill. The water from the shower leaked out and formed a bit of a puddle after a shower which meant that the bathmat kept getting soaked. Fortunately there was a mop which we used to clear the water. It would be great if there were additional hooks for hanging towels and clothes in the bathroom.
Overall this place was a good place to stay while in Walpole, but it could be improved to make it more homely and welcoming.
