The property is under the main house which is a converted garage. The space is big and spacious but unfortunately it can be accessed internally from the main house and separated only by a thin curtain.
The owner requires their internal door to be kept open so their cat can get outside! We found this to be uncomfortable and unsatisfactory as we could hear their conversations from downstairs and it felt like they were 'right there'.
The cat came into my bedroom in the night and it actually really scared me (what if I'm not an animal lover and allergic to cats?!) I feel that this is something that MUST be posted in their advertisement of the property.
The noise from their alarm clock going off on the floor above in the early morning was frustrating and as the above floor is made from wood it creaks and every footstep sounds like an elephant. Add in noisy screaming children and it's a recipe for frustration. If you're looking for a quiet, private retreat, this is not the place for you.
There is no kitchen bench space (at all) and if you want to cook you can't as there's only a microwave and small electric hot plate/mini pie warmer oven.
The positives are that the place is very spacious and mostly very clean. The beds are comfortable and the floors and bathroom are clean.
The location is good and the communication from the hosts was good. But, the noise, the cat, the lack of privacy and no kitchen bench space was a let down for us.
