The house is lovely. The owner is less than accommodating. If you plan to cook meals for your family, you should take your own pans. I have rarely been in a less well-equipped kitchen.
I asked for an early check-in given that we are in our eighties and we arrived early morning. The reply was curt: " I can allow a 2 pm check-in." She could have softened that with "this is actually my home and I really can't be out before 2 pm"... but her responses were always succinct and borderline rude.
I have never been asked to strip all of the beds before leaving...and we had a very early departure....but we did fulfill the obligation.
Sitting out in the many sitting areas was nice. Cleaners did a great job of cleaning the place before we arrived.
The house is over 50 yrs. old and built and added on to several times. There are many levels with lots of steps in different places. Two old people had trouble managing those. There were lots of night lights around for which we were thankful. We were looking for dark skies to look at the stars. The house had lights on all around and night lights in the house with no shades/curtains which caused the dark sky not to be so dark. Ants in kitchen and on couch were a problem. No insect spray so I used hair spray to kill them, but they kept coming back. Garden up- keep needs improvement and care. For the price, we expected more or at least a better description of what we should expect.
