Starting with the positives, the location is fantastic, the fire pit outside was great on the cold nights and Edwina the owner was lovely and communicated very well.
Now for the not so great, as the first guests after the Covid19 shutdown we thought the place would be sparkling clean as this shut down period would be ideal for resolving any issues and preparing for the reopening of short term accommodation. Unfortunately there was dust, cob webs and many spiders. We noticed a large spider on our 14 month old daughter whilst playing on the couch. When we then went looking we found spiders on the couch/under cussions & the blanket, under bed covers in 2 bedrooms and in lamp shades. We accept spiders can't be stopped altogether however if the property had been cleaned just before our stay (rather than several months ago) this wouldn't have been an issue.
The electrical wiring needs updating as almost everytime we tried to operate the kettle, a hairdryer or portable heater whilst other fixed room heaters were operating the circuit breaker would trigger. We must have reset the switch more than 10 times before we eventually began remembering to switch a few things off before using things like the kettle.
Regarding the beds, the mattresses need replacing as many of the springs no longer work causing you to sleep, on the double bed almost resting on the bed base and the single bed on an angle.
Unfortunately we wouldn't stay again but with a little bit of work I am sure this place could be great again!
