Firstly, location and views are good. When booking this airbnb, I was very aware we were going to be staying at a quaint cottage however there were quite a few things that were disappointing upon arrival.
We were advised that parking would be available both in a carport and on grass at the top of the property. The carport was filled with boxes and was unable to be opened, making it unusable. We had two cars so that was extremely frustrating.
We knew the decor and furniture would have that cottage vibe however I did not expect to see mould on the couches and ceilings (mainly in master). This is a concerning health risk especially when we had two little children staying with us.
The deck also requires major repair. The weekend saw rain and when my husband was going down to the garden to have a look after a rain shower, he slipped on the stairs and grabbed the railing. This then completely collapsed on him. Luckily he wasn't holding any of our children. This then made the deck unusable as it was a safety risk, confining us indoors. Upon further inspection, one corner of the deck is rotting and could again lead to an incident. My father was staying with us during our holiday and he is a building inspector. In his opinion, this deck would not pass a building inspection.
Overall, there needs to be some alterations to ensure health and safety takes priority.
