Pros:
- Pretty location
- Private, quiet
- Spacious, well laid out plan
- 2 bathrooms
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Milk, eggs, butter in fridge
- Sunroom would be lovely during summer
Cons:
- Heavy evidence of mice that had already gotten into the unopened fresh bread that was recently left on the counter (Junie said they hadn’t had any mice problems but it seemed to us that they have been there for quite some time (we found many droppings in multiple locations before we stopped looking) and there was a rodent ultrasonic repellent in the bedroom)
- Acceptable cleanliness apart from farm type insects, dust, webs and the fridge needed a cleaning
- Very chilly in Oct and apart from 2 small electric heaters (which are not sufficient to heat the home) the house is warmed by radiators that require a very active fire in the wood stove. Insufficient wood, kindling and fireplace tools (none) in order to do that
- No house manual to provide any info or help
- Mattress was lopsided and we could feel springs (we ended up putting a blanket between us and the mattress to help)
- Cupboard had open dry goods which would be ill advised regardless but especially with susceptibility to mice
- We messaged Junie through the air bnb app about an hour after we had checked in via phone call with her re: said mice, heating problem and did not receive a response until after we left the accommodation the next morning
