Overall, more pros than cons, so I'm rating a 4. The "cons" are more personal preferences, but I'll share so you have a full picture. First, the good! Location, updated guesthouse, full and stocked (dishes, cookware, etc.) kitchen and quiet. Easy check-in and beautiful home :) We had a lovely staycation and I'm glad we took a few days for ourselves.
There's a few preferences that I wish I knew prior to going. For me, the incredibly soft bed was a problem. I already suffer back problems, so beds for me are a challenge, but my husband (who can sleep anywhere) complained about the bed every morning. By the final day, I was limping as I left because I hurt my back with the bed. I'm sitting here with a heating pad as I write this. The other was the pool. We were excited for the pool and it's a main reason we chose this location, but #1 it was awkward to swim in someone's backyard when they have the blinds up and sitting in the living room and #2 Every time I thought about going out there, I kept seeing wasps, so I'm wondering if there was a nearby nest?
This isn't intended to be a bad review. In fact, I am so glad we went! However, I recognize my preferences may not bother anyone else, but it's still always good to know. Thank you, Hope, we had a lovely time!
