Cottage on orchard acreage with ocean views

Host comms were great, and we appreciated being able to check in early - thanks again.There was plenty to like about the accom - including views and the location.But - we had issues with ants the whole time we were there - hundreds of them. Each of the rooms had cobwebs, dust, dead bugs and something we felt we had to clean up before we used the room. The entry/foyer was particularly laden with a lot of cobwebs all over the doorframes and door. I feel it also wasn’t entirely clear on the property listing that there’s only one bedroom - we’d expected a second bedroom because it states in the listing ‘bedroom 1 - queen’ then ‘bedroom 2 - futon’. But instead had the use of a fold out couch in the main living area which made it difficult to use that space of an evening. A few thoughtful additions in the kitchen like some nice teas, normal table salt, maybe a loaf of local bread or a tub of butter would have made it feel a bit more homely and welcoming. It was a lovely few days away though, Priscilla, and we loved being so close to quite a few sights and attractions. Thanks for having us.

Lovely location & garden area.General inside presentation was clean & welcoming. Good heating.Some furnishings shabby & tired.Inside windows frames were dirty. External- lovely for sunsets however, lots of cobwebs & dust.Bed was very comfortable, however, it had a stain on the underlay.Overall, a lovely stay with quirky, nice features.

Good location, great view. House in need of some repairs, a new mattress and good quality sheets would make the bed much more comfortable. From the description I was expecting more of a farm stay with chickens and goats.

Awful experience … it seems this place was left and forgot five years ago to be eaten by the tooth of time. Years worth of cobwebs, spiders, ants … which is a shame as you can see someone really loved it and took care of fit ew years back. Touch of TLC would transform this place to lovely but alas now it is in a horrible state serving as a money grab. Take your reading glasses off if you can tolerate. My sincere advice is spend your money elsewhere.

Pros- host was so lovely. Thank you Priscilla! Good location. Our boys had so much fun collecting the eggs & checking out the chooks & goats.Cons - we felt let down by the cleanliness & conditions of the cottage: handrail in bathroom broken, taps not working properly, dusts, spiders & cobwebs behind sofa and queen bed.
