NOT at all what we expected.
Positives: Lovely quiet area. Very picturesque. We enjoyed waking to the sounds of the horses near the house. Well stocked old country cottage. Intermittent wifi available. Pet friendly.
Negatives: Given weve travelled the world this would have had to be the worst air bnb bed weve slept on.
*Mattress top very thin and not supportive. The bed squeaked all night with the slightest of movement keeping us both awake.
*There was a note in the guestbook stating to keep all windows and doors shut due to critters getting in. *(no spray provided!) So we attempted to use the portable air conditioner on all settings to no avail as it was intermittently so loud we couldn't sleep.
*The shower water wouldn't drain away. I had to wait till the morning for mine... and it did the same, overflowing onto the bathroom floor.
*After reading the guest book on arrival I found it to be quite aggressive in relation to does and dont's which were numerous.
*The cottage add stated milk on arrival so we didn't buy any at the shop 35 minutes away only to find we weren't provided any.
*PLEASE NOTE... there is 3 kilometres of dirt road with large potholes to navigate prior to arriving at blue cottage. - which was not disclosed in the add.
With all that said, this is a early 1900s cottage, best described as simple and rustic.
