2.5/5 stars
As this was my first AirB&B experience, I expected that it would be more of a home than what we received. Basic furnishings and items were supplied, but nothing more than a standard hotel room. It felt that the owner hadn’t stayed here, as some items were very impractical.
The beds are comfortable though.
We were asked to take off shoes in the small wet area, and we were happy to oblige. However, there were no hooks for jackets, places for shoes, a mat to dry your feet or even a step to sit on to help. It was raining and cold during our stay, which was very difficult to juggle. It would be really helpful if some of these items were provided.
The book of instructions included information on the heating - which informed us that wood and a fire block were needed for the fire place. No wood was provided (2 fire blocks for two night stay) and the house was still (unfortunately) very cold. The electric heating was placed on timers, but no instructions on when the timing would be turned on/off.
The shower/bathroom is also very small and...the walls are very thin. Probably not the place to stay if you are anything other than average height and don’t like to hear your family/ friends on the loo!
Previous reviews talked about extra touches, we stayed for a birthday and received three little homemade chocolates - which was probably the nicest part of the stay. So thankyou for them.
Whilst this place wasn’t for us, we wish the owners and future renters all the best.
