I don’t really like writing bad reviews but I’ll have to for this one.
At the time of my booking, the spa was advertised in the listing. When I arrived and enquired about the spa, Donna said it costs too much to run so it’s off for the winter. I asked for the spa to be turned on as it was part of the reason why I booked this Airbnb or I’d like a refund. Donna said it was not part of the listing, I wasn’t charged for it and refused to turn it on. I was just about to pack up my car to leave when her husband came around and turned the spa on after all. It took another day for it to be hot. Unfortunately this left an undesirable taste/tone of my weekend at this bach. I tried to enjoy it as much as I could.
The fire was lovely, as was the spa when I was finally able to use it. The facilities were OK, shower had low water pressure, but there’s Sky TV and a sound system if you want to listen to music. I did not use much of the cooking facilities so unable to comment on that. Donna was otherwise good at resolving minor issues like getting more matches for the fire, turning the Sky TV on when I couldn’t work out how to turn it on and putting the gate back on when it was partially blown off from the wind. She redirected me to the correct gate when I went through the wrong one. The signage was not clear, the driveway to the bach is all grass.
Overall, the bach was OK, cute and very rustic. There were nice little treats in the kitchen. I do not think it’s worth the amount of money I paid for the weekend - especially if the spa stayed off. I was not able to have a view of the lake and mountains unless I go outside. If you expect a bit of luxury for the money, this isn’t it.
