If I was basing this review on the location/garden and host, I would give five stars. But I wanted to give an honest review of the accommodation, as we chose to stay here based on the glowing reviews and we were disappointed.
The studio has a bit of a damp problem. A dehumidifier was provided, but unfortunately doesn't resolve the issue.
The water supply is high in manganese, so it tastes bad and leaves a rusty scale. It's also really unpleasant to shower in, leaving you smelling metallic.
Whilst we could tell that obviously a cleaner had been in before we arrived, there were a lot of spiders and grime in easily overlooked areas that made it feel like the studio hadn't been deep cleaned in a while. The host did offer to get a cleaner in during our stay, but was unable to find anyone at short notice.
I feel bad leaving a negative review when the host and caretaker were so kind, and the location was stunning. But we weren't able to relax in the accommodation, so we didn't have a great time there.
