We had a mostly pleasant stay at Virginia’s place.
In terms of the positive: the standalone cottage is lovely and the morning breakfast is delicious. We appreciated Virginia’s kind offer to drive us to/from the train station due to the rain.
In terms of the negative: the wifi is poor and the bathroom door provides little privacy (it’s more like a closet door than a solid door, with horizontal slats running across, so light and noise travel straight through; no problem if you’re solo but potentially problematic if you aren’t).
We unfortunately also had a misunderstanding with Victoria where she wanted us to clean up more thoroughly — but did not communicate this to us until after we’d left. Only after our two-night stay and checkout did she send us a message to voice this, despite her servicing the cottage after the first night and our taking care to tidy up after ourselves. As guests who take pride in being great guests, we were sad to learn we had upset her without a chance to rectify the situation.
Your mileage may vary in terms of how much you care about those things, but my partner and I wish we’d known them coming in.
