What a palaver. I arrived at the accommodation half an hour before my partner. Parking it turns out is extremely restrictive at this place. I moved my car under the instruction of the host to make room for my partner's medium wheelbase van.
I began unpacking and had the kettle on the boil. My partner arrived greeted by hysterics and insults from the host and some other guy trying to guide her into a hedge. Clearly the twice mentioned 'good parking' is wholly inadequate for anything other than one vehicle. Once again I moved my car to a laneway elsewhere on their property. When I came back the host claimed the van was unsuitable for the property and would freak her horses out. My partner and I decided to park the van at a friend's property several miles away which the host claimed would be an incumbrance to them also! The cheek! Later when we arrived back in my car. The host insisted we leave. Never in my years of travel, staying in hundreds of properties the world over have I faced such bizzare, childish behaviour by a host. The insults, the shouting and outright disdain shown was nothing short of disgusting. The entire evening of our short stay away was ruined by this person. Airbnb to their credit heard our complaint and awarded in kind after attempting to contact the host. All in all a terrible experience. Thankfully we found a wonderful place later that night with the help of Airbnb's complaints department.
