This is a centrally-located, clean property with comfortable beds. It represents value for money. But, unfortunately, as guests we felt unwelcome. On arrival you're instantly bombarded with a list of rules littered with threats of being "charged" if compliance isn't adhered to. Laughably, even hair dyeing and self-tanning are included in the host's long list of bans (Trump, you've been warned - stay away!). Clearly the host is intent on managing a property and enjoying the profits without any of the occasional challenges that inevitably come with it.
The host made contact promising to send the key-lock code 24 hours prior to our arrival. This didn't happen which is okay - an honest mistake anyone can make. Regrettably on departure we also made an honest mistake, accidentally taking the keys with us and not leaving them in the key-lock box. On making contact to communicate our mistake and offer to post the keys (we were an hour's drive down the road) my wife was confronted with a very rude, condescending and unprofessional host.
At this property making an honest mistake is acceptable for the host, but not the paying guest.
We have travelled extensively over decades and accept guidelines need to be in place, but a welcome mat of relentless written rules and the host's authoritarian manner and tone bring down an otherwise quality property.
