Overall, we had an okay stay at Blairgowrie Retreat, but certain things weren’t quite right.
Firstly, there was an unreported camera on the front deck, which is concerning if you care about privacy and it's against AirBnB rules. The cleanness of the place was overall fine, but we noticed cobwebs around the bed, stained bath mat, a lollipop left on the deck and unclean windows with multiple hand marks. Not as clean as I’d expect it. The listing mentioned cooking utensils, and while kitchen was equipped with pots, pans and other items, there was no cooking oils, salt, pepper or sugar at all. WiFi was slow and inaccessible at times, so if you’re planning on working or streaming, I’d reconsider.
For that price, I’d expect the place to be spotless and well equipped (especially if certain things are listed in the description). While we always treat all places with respect and keep them tidy, stating an expectation of "leaving the place tidy because cleaning is only there to bring it to perfection" is a bit much, when the cleaning fee nears $300.
