Holiday accommodation

Apartment beautifully decorated and clean fab location. The Annexe was very hot and noisy also kept awake by the light out in alleyway. The including parking is not in the best of places at the Rugby club. Very steep hill and takes around 25 mins to walk to and from. This needs to be explained better.Also then number we had to contact for parking never answered. We paid for one of the cars before we left home for the 4day but ended up paying again for a closer parking lot.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Oct 2021
Thank you for your review Paula. I am afraid we are not connected to the parking company you refer to and so cannot be marked down on your experience for their lack of contact. We also make it very clear where the parking is for this property in the description and, for anyone who walks normally and has moderate fitness levels, it takes 15 minutes. It can certainly take longer if you stop to take in the views. The owner of Artist's Light is having solid wooden shutters fitted to the window of the annexe at the end of 2021 and this will definitely help with the light from the walkway shining through.
