There were a few issues -
Firstly the place was very cold. The windows in the living room and the bedroom do not seal at all so even if you had the heater on, the heat was escaping. We ended up sitting upstairs in the loft and watching movies on your laptop as it was warmer there.
Secondly the TV was tiny and really high up and far away on the wall. It wasn’t a smart TV, could not even connect an HDMI cable to it.
Thirdly and most importantly the entire place was incredibly poorly lit. If you wanted to sit in the living area and read a book at night or do some work you couldn’t because the lighting is so dim. This is because they had these fit on cheap lights. The bulb in one was fused in the kitchen too making it even dimmer. The only place you could read a book without squinting was in the bedroom where the lamps were bright (even though one lamp was also was missing a bulb). Couldn’t even do make up in the bathroom at night because it was so dim.
In the absence of TV and adequate lighting to read we invited guests over on Thursday night. We had no music playing and we were told they had to depart because it was still too noisy as they could hear our conversations because their house is so close by to the shack. I understand because their policy also said no guests after 10 pm so it was fair enough.
Fourthly the curtain in the bedroom for the window was a very light see through cloth such that you couldn’t even sleep in without sunlight blaring in your eyes in the morning. Not to mention on Saturday morning we were woken up early morning by their kids playing in their yard which was probably right outside our bedroom.
The place is pretty tiny when compared to the advertised photos. It was advertised for 4 adults but really it’s only suitable for 2 adults and then 2-3 little kids only.
I paid 1028 dollars for 4 nights. I thought for that I should get a warm nights sleep without kids voices waking me up, a warm bedroom, adequate lighting at night and a medium sized smartTV.
The positives were they were great at communication with quick replies and the location is good. But I personally think you can get better quality for your money in Byron!
