I rented this cottage based on the highly rated reviews and photos. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to see that the "luxury cottage" was not even close to the definition of "luxury" as is typically experienced at luxe accommodations. We never checked in after seeing the actual condition /appearance of the rental. The photos in the listing were not indicative of what we saw in person.. The beds are set up as platforms for one mattress -- certainly not luxury by any means and very uncomfortable (and did not match the photos presented). The downstairs bedroom had a fan but only one window had a screen and if one closes the doors to keep insects and animals out, the room is sweltering hot and stuffy. The main living area has no fan and therefore insufficient ventilation since leaving the door open permits animals to enter the house (cats entered while the door was open for natural ventilation). There were also flying insects in the main room as we sat there making our phone calls to rearrange our accommodations. The kitchen was far from luxury with very dated appliances. The beds upstairs in the loft area were also simple platforms with basic mattresses on top; the air was stifling hot with poor circulation so one would be extremely uncomfortable to sleep there especially given the record heat during that week. All the beds were made with only sheets (without any covers/bedspreads). The bathroom had hairs on the top portion of the toilet which made me question the overall cleaning protocol. We left the premises as soon as we could get a taxi to take us to a hotel. We reached out to the host to get a partial refund since we never checked in and never heard back (including via Airbnb). Very disappointing property, host communications, and location; I would not recommend.
