The property grounds, host and location are all great, however we unfortunately encountered many issues with our stay. Hopefully the hosts will have fixed these by the time of the next stay.
1. Ants in bathroom and bedroom - recommend thoroughly checking every room prior to a guest stay and preventing this issue in advance.
2. Water turning off mid shower - a spare boiler or backup tank may help.
3. Shower head / tap meant the shower didn’t work when water pressure was low. This is more a compound problem as a result of running low on water, but it made for an unpleasant experience. You may want to upgrade tap and shower head so that this isn’t an issue even during low water pressure.
4. Spiders and cobwebs - please clean and evacuate these, I counted at least 20 big spiders in the place.
5. Bulbs / electrics - the bathroom and kitchen lights flickered uncomfortably when heater and toaster oven was on. Maybe replace the bulbs and get an electrician to look at the total ampage on that circuit since that shouldn’t happen.
6. Temperature - a nice touch would be if you turned the heater on prior to guests arriving as it was very cold for our first 2 hours
7. Illumination - I’d recommend putting more lighting in general in the space
8. Toaster oven not really having any surface space - I suggest putting more plug points in the kitchen for items like the toaster oven. The surface space on the left of the oven doesn’t adequately fit the appliance base, so the toaster oven ends up teetering over the propane tank dangerously.
9. Noise at night - there is definitely a critter or two causing a ruckus at night, not sure exactly what you can do to remove; clean ear plugs for guests would be helpful either way.
10. Kitchen amenities - some basics were missing to help us use the oven (aluminum foil mainly). We also couldn’t figure out how to use the main oven. Ended up using one of the pans inside the toaster oven; the pan had an extremely loose handle which was disconcerting. Suggest replacing the pan, getting a few extra amenities so that the kitchen can be used, and leaving a guest book explaining how to use the oven (and other items).
