It was an okay stay but we were quite a bit let down in a few areas. The location is lovely as was the house and the architecture, but were a bit disappointed when we found half eaten ice cream in the freezer. We left it be and put it behind us, but when we found a filthy plate in the pantry our suspicions arose even more.
At one point the hot tub had a filter error, which when we decided to have a look at seemed to not have been cleaned or replaced in quite some time. This wouldn’t have been as big of an issue if we hadn’t been left a note saying the filter had been changed the day before we arrived! This obvious lie was our breaking point.
Some smaller notes would be only 4 towels for 4 people over 3 nights. With the hot tub a key feature, and the highlighted importance of showering before and after entering, another few towels would have been nice. A solid curtain would also be nice in the downstairs bathroom which looks out directly onto the hot tub. A carpeted bathroom also comes across as slightly unhygienic and tacky.
Our check out meant for 12pm on Friday was met with no one to give the key to. At 12:30 I texted the phone number I’ve previously contacted for Tara but was met with no response. I left the key in a plant pot and sent her the location via text. It was not until around 5:30 I was met with any messages from the host about checking out.
