The host was not the owner,she very quickly showed us the room,bathroom and shelf with tea&cofee,and cereal.we were not told where for instance the nearest shops were or given a list of local amenities or directions. The toom was spacious and light ,full of personal possessions,files,boxes and when I tried to unpack the chest of drawers were full too so put everything back in my bag for 4 days.
The pretty bathroom had lots of notes saying up to 7 people had to share it so dont stay more than 15 mins which could mean a 1.45 minute wait for the toilet,yikes.No shower curtain so copious notes on drying the bathroom ,I like baths no no problem.No face cloth or hand yowel or own bathmat (not so hygienic)Bath rag was bit smelly. Long garden but no chairs except one the host used for smoking. Very big bed,wuiet at night. Stained futon in corner.
Self seve breakfast very basic no fruit or fresh coffee,frozen bread,.
I have never been asked to leave and stay out all day and found it very inconvenient and strange as I wanted to relax in the mornings then stay out sll day and evening so we found ourselves sitting in our car outside in the rain trying to catch up on emails in the mornings.Got the feeling the host could not wait for us to go although we stayed in our rooms and disturbed no one.The morning we left I had to swueeze past the hoover and pile of bedding outside our door slthough we left on time at 10am.It was a delief to leave as felt like intruders in soneone elses space.Thebreakfast sitting area was full of clothes snd washing.
