This property has an absolutely stunning location, both the property itself and Castlepoint in general. Castlepoint is a beautiful, remote and rugged place and we loved this. There is access to a number of walks, including to the lighthouse, however my favourite by far was the Deliverance Cove walkway, this is a must do. We also visited the local pub one night which was great, it felt like the hub of Castlepoint!
The spa pool was one of the best ones we have been in, but only on our first night as for some reason it was not as hot on the 2nd night. The instructions for each setting were not very clear. The shower was lovely, as were the comfy beds.
There were unfortunately a number of irritations during the stay, most of which were minor and we were able to ignore. These were things like empty dishwashing liquid, empty cleaning spray, wifi not working.
Rita did explain on the morning of our arrival that they had friends parents staying in the unit upstairs. This took me by surprise as I had originally thought I had booked the whole property based on AirBnb filters used. However, Rita reassured me that they are completely separate units, the couple are quiet, will not use the spa pool and have been asked to respect our privacy. However, due to the structure of the building we could continuously hear the couple upstairs, despite their innocence. Every movement, muffled conversations. It was quite disturbing. Considering we had booked this trip as a remote escape and the price of the accommodation, we had not anticipated this.
Rita explained they rarely let anyone stay upstairs whilst guests are downstairs, and that this had been arranged months ago. After all we had booked this last minute, however if I had known about the situation I would have booked alternative accommodation that ensured we had the property to ourselves. Letting friends parents stay at the place was a lovely deed, however it came at the expense of the guests experience.
Providing the accommodation is not shared with unit upstairs, or you readily knew abou this, this accommodation would be a lovely place to stay.
