We got here at around 2 in the morning after a delayed flight, so it was great that this place was only a 15 minute drive away! Communication with the host was great and it was very useful having the self check-in. We booked based on great reviews and we were greeted by the lovely cat on arrival. However, not sure if we were unlucky but we didn't have any towels when we arrived. We found a few hairs (one long black hair) on the duvet cover and it looked like someone had sat on the bed, one corner of it being all ruffled up. Unfortunately it seemed to be a very old duvet too and didn't feel clean. There is a small shelf/mini table to put a few things on but again, this hadn't been dusted and also had a hair on it. The carpet was clean. On asking for towels in the morning, we were given one, another one was said to be in the cupboard in our room which didn't have any so we asked for another one and got told 'just have this one' - a towel sitting on top of a pile of clothes on the floor in one of the spare rooms, which seemed a little unhygienic. On a positive note, the couple seemed nice, the bed was comfortable despite it feeling a bit dirty, and the shower was clean. The room itself is cosy and it is dark and quiet at night. There isn't anywhere to put much though, so maybe one of the shelves in the cupboard could be cleared for guest use? And a lock on the door would be good too, this is the first place we've been to that hasn't had one.
We weren't expecting anything luxury and would have been happy with the room, had it just been cleaner. If so then the value for money would have been great. The house itself seemed clean.
