Overall this was a good stay. However, there are things I wish Iâd known before booking my stay. These things may literally not matter to you at all, but they may have influenced my decision to stay here if Iâd known themâŠ
1)The queen bed had the most uncomfortable mattress Iâve ever slept on. I couldnât sleep more than an hour or so at a time before having to completely rearrange myself. It was a rock. The twin beds were slightly better, but not great. You may be fine with a firm mattress, but I wish Iâd known how firm this was because not sleeping well but a damper on my trip.
2)The kitchen was hit or miss. The turn table in the microwave didnât work, a few dishes were put away dirty, some cooking essentials were absent (no measuring cups/spoons) but most alarming was that the dishwasher was not secured into the counter, so when you pulled out the dish drawers to empty the washer, the whole dishwasher tipped forward!
3) The sitting area is tiny, which was perfectly fine for 2 people, but it only seated 3 (love seat and chair) Would have been tricky if there were actually 4 people in the house. Also the TV was maybe 12 inches if that?
4)The cottage is VERY close to the main house. Nobody was in the main house so it was fine, but if someone had been there, we would have felt a major lack of privacy (the screen porch faces the main house) and the properties also share a driveway.
For the price I ended up paying, just wish Iâd known these things in advance!
