Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane B. 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication, location #### Nice house, strange location The house was clean and comfortable and fitted out with modern furniture. However the bathrooms constantly had a moist smell. The path down to the house was steep and uneven - quite difficult for our older family member to access. We travelled with an infant and the house was very dangerous for under 3s, with a steep spiral staircase and large gaps in rails. The TV did not work and there was no phone reception. Very little to do in the area. Lots of strange interactions with locals and the area didn't feel very safe. However, the wildlife was amazing and the house itself was quite peaceful. ##### Jane B.
