The historic house is quite beautiful and the area is lovely but our stay was a bit disappointing. The guest room is in need of a deep clean. We arrived to find large cobwebs / dust in the bedroom accompanied by a fair few house spiders. The general cleanliness of the guest suite and accompanying areas was poor.
We raised the cobwebs issue with the host, who then cleared some of them whilst we were out. The host left us a note to assure us there were no spiders and left us bug spray. We spent 30 mins cleaning the cobwebs ourselves & getting rid of the spiders in the curtains.
We were not greeted by our host in person during our stay. This added unnecessary awkwardness to the experience of staying in someone's home.
It is unfair to advertise accommodation & have a non-refundable policy given the standard of the accommodation.
