OVERALL:
Fantastic property that was a great alternative to 6 professionals attending a conference all having one hotel room each. Especially due to the excellent communal facilities. Would absolutely stay again, just clarify that everything will be unlocked beforehand.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
PRO’S:
- absolutely stunning, spacious home
- the perfect home away from home
- plenty of parking
- well stocked with tonnes of treats
- large communal spaces where you can easily relax
- great heating in communal areas
- electric blankets on beds
- almost every appliance you could dream of in the kitchen, even chilled water from the fridge door
CON’S:
- we found out on arrival (may have been shared beforehand, but I haven’t been able to find any reference to it) that the hosts only open a selection of bathrooms depending on number of people staying. In our case, we had 6 professionals and expected that we would have access to all 5.5 bathrooms. 2.5 were open. We were able to get the additional 3 bathrooms opened for an extra cleaning fee, although unfortunately not until the next day (hosts were out of town)
- most beds were soft and well-worn
- some bedrooms equipped with fan heaters - we had a hot/miss success rate with not all fan heaters blowing warm air (my room was cold and fan heater was cold air only, thankfully the electric blanket kept me warm)
