Overall would not recommend
The photos make this place look a lot nicer than it is in reality. It is quite tired and could do with a overall freshen up
Positives-
Comfortable bed, great shower pressure, nice bed linen, small but functional kitchen, full sized fridge, good wifi
Not so great-
The noise from upstairs being creaking floor and voices woke us up each morning at 6am on weekdays and 8am weekends & loud at night. The host mentioned that the floor is being fixed when I pointed this out. Hopefully this will help with the creaking but unsure about the voices & other noise (being that you could almost make out conversations)
Whole place is very damp and musty smelling, especially the bathroom. Mould/ dirty ceilings, walls in bathroom, mould around window frames, towels don’t dry. A dehumidifier is running when you arrive
Loose bathroom fittings such as towels rail & window latches
Dining chairs are stained & a awkward height for the table
The deck access to the front door is shared with the main house above so we kept the curtains shut the whole time so feels dark (anyone going in main house front door walks past room door)
Road is very busy
No milk or breakfast provided
The front yard is much smaller than it looks in photos
Note that on rubbish day, truck comes very early & expect to hear wheelie bins up and down the shared driveway which is just outside the door
No blind on kitchen window, just a small tinted square but can still see directly into neighbours windows
Uncomfortable pillows
No fan and the room gets quite hot, no opening window in main part of room
No tissues
The hosts were friendly and checked in multiple times, but did ask that we don’t leave a negative review.
