Stayed here with 4 others and a 3yo over Easter and had a good stay. On first impressions the place was lovely and communication with Alex and Joe was excellent.
However there were a number things that detracted from our experience that could be easily looked into for future bookings.
The bed linen and towels were tired and need replacing, threadbare towels and some smelt, the linen was old and stained, my pillow case had orange paint on it. Not unclean, just time for new.
The oven smelt so wasn't pleasant to use, nothing a good clean wouldn't fix.
The BBQ hadn't been cleaned and was rather old so we didn't end up using it. There was rust on the exterior and grating.
The outdoor setting/space was great to use but before we could use the fire pit, the owners had to organise their guy to come and trim the overgrown lavender bushes as it wasn't safe for the fire. He kindly also fixed the main bedroom sliding door as it wasn't on its rails so we couldn't open it the first day.
If you're wanting to cook, suggest bringing basics like oil, sugar, sharp knives, spray n wipe and possibly fry pans as the coating is coming off the house ones. The fridge was also quite small, no way large enough for 5 ppl. Also there's only a 2 cup coffee plunger so bring your own if more than one of you want a coffee (at the same time) in the mornings!
We were just expecting more based on reviews and the price. In isolation these things weren't major, but when they started adding up (there was more, but have chosen not to write a full list publicly instead have communicated these direct to Alex and Joe who were appreciative of the feedback) they became a negative impact on our stay. Joe has already offered some money back from the inconveniences we had so we look forward to resolving this. If these things were fixed/addressed it would be a really great stay.
