The property is beautifulThe hosts have worked hard to make a beautiful retreat However on arrivalif their were issues that needed to be pointed out to us and made us aware of the bench being newly coated plus any other issues this problem of the would have been avoided. But our experience of our holiday went sour when doing the right thing i advised the host by phone at 9.15am by message my problem but the phone was not answered. I went at 9.45am to their place to advice them about the bench couting being spoiled . Before the host (named susan) had even looked at the problem she said you will have to pay . The bench had been painted 1 week before and it had not been cured as it was soft. No note was displayed to say it was justed painted. We had no other place to unload our provisions and some vinegar had spilt in a bag and the inadequate coating which is not fit for purpose given it is the only place to . eat at and sit in the whole tree house. Our tarriff was considerable and if the host chooses to supply a bench to use it must be durable ,not been freshly painted and if an accident occurs it should be their cost of doing business and notshowiing us through the prolerty . To add to the situation the fausly accused us in an email to have cracked a plunger which we didnt use as we had robert timms coffee bags which proceeded to say we need to replace.this Why if i went to all the trouble to advise about the bench it smacks of being unfounded accusation. Their checking proceedures prior to our visit are flawed. Have a good day. Bye John Byron -Smith.
