Beautiful grounds, donkeys and pheasants were a lot of fun. Lemon trees and blossoms abound. The small cottage is romantic and gorgeous.
A few things to consider:
1) there essentially is no wifi. We struggled to get 1 bar and couldn’t even download email.
The hosts were very kind and allowed us to do work zooms from another cottage that had great wifi. But you can’t stream music or a movie or download a book there.
2) there is no cellular service. So messages don’t come through and you can’t use your phone to make up for the lack of wifi.
Great spot for a digital detox; just make sure you know this.
3) it has gorgeous windows all around. But if there are any other guests the groundskeeper is there, they will walk by.
4) there is no where to sit other than the bed and one chair. Not a problem for us, but will lead to crumbs.
5) the shower is only from the ceiling, and drips for hours loudly. But a towel dampens the sound. The bathtub is lovely however. There was oddly no shampoo or conditioner, only bar soap. I’ve never had that at an Airbnb before.
We actually enjoyed the place and the hosts are lovely. The location near havelock north with wonderful restaurants is great. The grounds are great to walk through. Just felt people should know about the quirks.
