White's Corner

This is a very large property (the "Storekeeper's House" has enough bedding for up to 12 people), and being an historic building is full of character in an interesting little town. However, the ageing nature of the property lets it down, too - there is some wear and tear - and not every corner of the place felt clean. In the Storekeeper's House there is also just a single bathroom (not counting the outdoor toilet which was out of order), which somewhat undermines the large sleeping capacity. Also, there was some contradictory communication prior to arrival which lead to confusion at check-in, though quickly resolved.

I have been using HomeAway for many years without a problem, but this time it was very different. I thought I had booked a small apartment in this historic building with modern furnishings as photographed. Instead I was given the four bedroom house,with heavy antique furniture, which may be great for a group of friends,but far too big for a couple. While it was interesting to stay in a very old building in a lovely old town, there were a number of issues which spoilt our enjoyment of the building. The appliances in the kitchen needed a good clean; the laundry was not available for use; the garden and grounds were unkempt; there was no wifi and a text to the owner about this went unanswered. Guests should be made aware that the pub has the only restaurant in town and is only open Fri - Sun. Guests should also be aware the only bathroom is up a steep flight of stairs. (There was also an issue with evidence of a rodent in the bathroom vanity but this may have been a once off.) Overall, I guess I expected something better for close to $200 a night.

Nice place sleeps up to 8 people nice country feel and set up Beds have electric blankets 🙌 And very comfortable Thank you
