The Batch has a rustic charm and relaxed atmosphere -it has excellent potential- but the upkeep and cleaning was poor. Many surfaces/walls are noticeably dusty/dirty, and the indoor couch was speckled with animal hair. Outside, the couches had to be brushed down to remove sand and dog hair, and if we wanted to use the outdoor shower we would have needed to move a bunch of cleaning equipment and cobwebs. The neighbours are within sight, including a shared driveway with the hosts, so it doesn’t feel quite as remote as the pictures suggest.
