Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in Pet friendly with a great enclosed area, so no worries with pet safety. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, lovely and quiet where there is plenty of bird life and lots of trees. But there were a few problems. We had trouble accessing the property due to a complicated lock. Due to no phone reception or wifi, and bad advertising as to who the local contact was, we had to drive back into town to be able to search for a contact person to help us enter the property. He was very helpful and had trouble himself opening the locks. If there was wifi access, there was no information provided how to do this.Limited cooking utensils and crockery, only 1 very, very large frypan. It was frustrating for us as we live locally and had booked in, as we were having floors laid in our home. The people laying the floors couldn't contact us which required trips into town to make contact.For someone visiting and out and about, it is ideal, but anyone wanting a quiet place to work it would be hard due to the bad mobile and wifi reception and perhaps should be mentioned when advertising the home. ##### Brett G.
