Megs communication and instructions for an easy check-in was great.
We stayed in 4 AirBnB properties whilst in Tasmania. However, this was the most expensive and, unfortunately the most disappointing. Especially considering the potential of this very old cottage!
Yes, it’s in Swansea, but there is no view to speak of other than the garden that was not very well kept. The house is stuck behind and completely surrounded by other properties.
The photos were a little misleading, especially the front view of the property as it is never seen unless sitting in the garden or on the fence. This is not a street view, nor is one available. The entry point is the backyard and a carport. It was untidy and certainly not what we expected. The yard and garden was not what you’d call “cared for”.
The fireplace was and is wonderful, and the best part of the house considering the cool weather we had. However, this couldn’t be enjoyed fully due to cheap and uncomfortable furnishing. In such an old cottage, the absence of comfortable and authentic furniture is something this place desperately needs and deserves. Considering the lack of internet (almost sac-religious in today’s world when travelers like to research and stay in touch with others) and the absence of anything resembling a night life around Swansea. Some appropriate and comfortable chairs or sofas to curl up on or in with a book and a glass of wine would be perfect for this property.
Our bed was comfortable (and warm!) but some bedside tables and lamps would be very much appreciated.
It was fantastic to have a washing machine, as we needed to freshen up some clothing after our hiking around the area. Also, a lovely bottle of wine was unexpectedly provided but very much appreciated and enjoyed.
