Susan is a warm host. She was very accommodating with our arrival time and had a lot of knowledge she was happy to share about the local area. She was more than happy to give us food and drive us around. Conversation was one sided though - Susan talked a lot about herself but didn’t seem interested in us.
Cleanliness was a huge problem for our stay. You will definitely be aware that dogs live in the house. They use the house as their toilet - we saw dog poo on the kitchen floor and our room smelt strongly of stale urine. The floors had not been cleaned recently either, which was concerning given the dog situation. In addition, our sheets had stains on them and the kitchen utensils and equipment were not in a guest friendly state.
Our opinion is that the house felt unsanitary and was rarely cleaned. The final straw for us was when I stood in poo going between the bedroom and the bathroom at night.
We made the costly decision to cancel early and get a hotel instead.
