Staying in Ruckle Farm is a unique experience. Both my daughter and I have a good time there. The host provided everything as the website said except bagels.
However, there is an issue I would like to mention.
When I booked the Norman House I supposed to rent the whole unit. ( most people are thinking like that).That is, two bed rooms with one bed in each room. Actually the second one is not really a room, just a bed with movable partition. Anyway it said that it can accommodate four people. By the time of booking I clearly stated that my party has two persons. I remember, I did fill up a form listing the particular of the second guest, stating she is my daughter.
When we arrived Marjorie said that she assumed we were couple, should sleep in one bed. If we used the second bed we had to pay 65 dollar more each night. It sounded very odd to me. The confirmation I got, did not say that each bed must sleep two or the price did not include the second bed. I did not want to ruin the holiday mood. Harmony and peace was more important. So I agreed not to use the second bed.
Here is my two cents suggestion to smooth communication for the future.
Will it be more understandable and clear to state out in the invoice, or the confirmation booking, so to speak, the price is for two person sleep in one bed, using the second bed has to add certain amount of money, better than asking extra at the scene. You cannot assume two person must be couple. Even a couple, man and wife, it doesn’t mean that they have to sleep in one bed every night.
My second question is that if I rent the Norman House just for one bed, will you rent out the second bed for another party?
I was lucky this time, no other party share the unit with us.
