Unfortunately this stay has prompted me to leave my first negative review. Given this place is marketed towards families I do feel obliged to warn about the mold, lack of security and privacy (no locks on doors host often walks in unannounced), outdoor toilet, and dust/bugs (would not be suitable for asthmatics/allergies). Accommodation would be suitable for backpackers passing through the area. No phone reception.
Also notable, only one bedroom (with dirty linen) was inside the cottage, the others are outside as is the bathroom, which was filthy with mold, other guests hair (eek), cobwebs, and just general grime.
I have stayed at many rural properties and never encountered one at this standard. I understand that dust and bugs are a normal part of rural living but when offering accommodation it is still expected that the place will be clean on arrival.
Regrettably had a few uncomfortable interactions with host, who entered the cottage many times throughout our stay (including around 6.30AM the morning after we arrived), the worst being an early morning visit when we ignored his knock and despite that he entered the property and called out for us. This startled both of us awake and we told him to leave, which he initially refused to do. I also caught him watching me make tea through the window on one occasion, only leaving when my dog barked at him. As a young woman, I felt very grateful to have my dog with me! Would not have stayed there alone.
