I do not recommend this host. A day before arrival, I found out from Mark that there is a curfew for use of the hot tub. Given the plans that we had already made, it meant that we would not be able to use the hot tub at all. As this amenity was the main reason we booked the reservation, we were thoroughly disappointed. I am glad to see that the listing has since been updated to indicate the hot tub opening hours but as these were not included at the time I booked my reservation, I hoped for some understanding on Mark's part. Unfortunately, I was met with an unfriendly, uncompromising host, who did very little to remedy the situation (extending the opening hours to allow us a 30-minute time frame to use it is not what I would consider a solution) or even just speak to us in a friendly manner, opting instead to send me screenshots of house rules that weren't there at the time I booked. As a very experienced Airbnb traveller, I am familiar with house rules and always read a listing's information thoroughly before booking but I have no control over changes a host may make after I have booked; sending me screenshots of updated house rules instead of a response is quite insulting. As it was too late to change our plans, we spent the night at the cottage but felt unwelcome and uncomfortable while we were there. Upon requesting some compensation for the unusable amenity, Mark called me "rude" and sent some really inhospitable messages. I would never have expected this type of behaviour from a superhost. Issues arise sometimes, no matter how good a host is, but the difference between a good host and a poor host is how they react to these situations.
The cottage itself is well-kept, comfortable, and clean. Wifi is unpredictable and was not available while we were there.
