The location is nice and peaceful and handy to various things. Susi (host) is friendly and has very good communication. It is a cosy place, with lots of firewood to get the fire going which is lovely.
There are some things that let this place down though (all of which are hopefully easily rectified for future guests):
- accuracy of description (it is a double bed (138x191) not a queen, and for all intents and purposes it doesn't have a separate bathroom and shower)
- the list "House Rules" when you get there are very onerous, telling you to pretty much leave the place in perfect condition (take your rubbish with you except on Monday when you can leave it curbside, remove ash from fireplace and re-set, vacuum and mop floors, clean bathroom, clean oven, replace various things as needed, etc.) I did most of these things but found it really over the top when I was paying significant money for a long stay. There is a relatively cheap cleaning fee, but I would rather pay more, and not spend 90 minutes of my time cleaning the house before leaving.
- the place needs a good/thorough spring clean in general
- there is a lot of "clutter" of things that are probably never used (which if they are removed would make cleaning easier :)
Bottom line: Susi is nice, the place is nice and in a good location, but there are a few things that should be improved for the price being charged.
