We had a 4 night stay scheduled at Cathy’s place. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our reservation after only 2 nights due to several mice running around throughout the house all night and mice in the leather couch in the living room. Now, this is a very old farm house, so it’s to be expected that the house is not perfect, but it was a bit too much for even me (who has lived in a rural farmhouse). We let Cathy know the situation as we were canceling our reservation and leaving and she said she was going to be taking care of the situation immediately and she offered a full refund.
Upon arrival, we also encountered a dishwasher full of used/dirty dishes and some of the smaller black stoneware on the shelves were visibly dirty and had to be washed before use. Same with some of the silverware that was in the drawer.
And for full transparency, the bed and pillows were not very comfortable. My husband and I both woke up with sore backs.
Also, a bit of a heads up for the tall guests, half of the doorways in the house are very, very short. I am 5’4” and the doorways were nearly too short to go through without ducking. My husband is 6’3” and lets just say his forehead met the doorframe once in the middle of the night lol.
Despite our troubles, Cathy is a wonderful host and is such a sweet person. She was very helpful with helping us figure out the door that had a sticky lock. It was also nice seeing all of her animals and being within walking distance of Hag’s Head and the Cliffs.
